tinyclark Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I don't ever remember my dad buying us lunch here, or really anywhere else, on our long cross country PCS trips. My mom would always make sandwiches for us, after a stop at the grocery store. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwylie Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I remember the counter sit-in protest at Woolworths here in Charleston, SC during the 60's. Those young men were really brave to stand up for there rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaprad Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 My Grandmother worked at a Woolworths during the early 90's up till they closed. I ate there all the time. Though the prices were a little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INS/Dopplertroop Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 You musta been a rich kid. Or... my dad was bull$h!tting us. Well, I certainly wouldn't describe us as rich! My Dad drove a city bus and Mom clerked at a Department store. I had two older brothers and my folks did own the small two bedroom house the five of us lived in. I don't remember us ever really suffering, but I never thought us rich. When I say many times, that's many times over many years. No we weren't in a position to be shopping and lunching every weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, SSgts didn't make that much, and my dad would find any way he could to save money, which he usually spent on us kids. Those cross-country trips were murder though. 3 kids in the back seat, with a dog, driving through the mojave desert with no A/C. Wake up at 6 to get going, drive until it was dark. But, even with all that, there are some good and lasting memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
