Likewise, clear up till about 1980. Then, I found one in our newest
mega-mall and it was crap. A hockey puck hamburger mummified under
holding lamps, put on a dry bun, and I was directed to the salad bar
to finish building my burger. I demanded my money back and walked
out, never to patronize an A&W, again.

In the early 70s, I could still get a to-die-for root beer float and a
tuna sub at an A&W with real carhops. Yum! The food was good,
too.
