Lucky Boy Drive-in
When your husband has a restaurant to run – plan on doing a variety of jobs – you never know just when or how your service may be needed? My primary job was taking care of the books. My mother often said she could not figure out why her children all decided to do so well in math and numbers – something she never liked?
On this particular day, one of the “Car Hops” called in , stating they were sick and could not work? Well, Lee said to call a couple of numbers, and see if anyone could fill in and in a hurry! Or , would I like to try out as a “Car Hop?” So far, in my life, at that time (1960) “Car Hop” just never ever enter my “Brain” – but – so that I could never ever say I wasn’t given a chance – Mr. Opportunity was knocking?
Had to get one of the uniforms they wear, an order book, apron with pockets, and money for change. Caught a couple of the girls, quick questions, and off and running , there was “Mickey the Car Hop,” doing her thing! Not too bad, worked a shift, learn something new, and took home my pocket “Full of Tips!”
