You think "you" feel old? I worked in a Burger Chef during High School for $1.00 an hour.
Burger Chef had a "Chain Drive" grill. We'd throw a burger on a chain driven gizmo and that would take it through an oven where it would come out on the other side ready to be put on a bun and slopped with ketchup, mustard and that god awful pickle. Magic!
I was a hostess at an IHOP in high school. Maybe that's why I'm not a big fan of breakfast food.
