Very cool, I remember my mom and dad taking us to the Woolworth's or Kresge's and what a big treat it was to eat there. Mmmmm, a cheese sandwich and a banana split. Once I found a twenty dollar bill on the floor. My mom took it straight to the checker and turned it in (much to my chagrin). A few minutes later, a woman asked if someone found a twenty... I got a five dollar bill reward and mom let me spend it... I bought a ton of stuff and had a couple bucks left over.
Back then, the five and dime stores were like our K-Marts. Speaking of K-Mart... remember when K-Marts had a lunch counter? Good burgers and fries, for like $1.19.
But the best memory was when dad took us to white castle for a whole bag of 12 cent burgers... little square burgers with something similar to meat and a whole mess of teeny onions (that I painstakingly picked off). Still, they were great.
