Nice thread.

My aunt took me into a Kresge's for a bite. Old lady next to me
ordered 'cawfee and donuts' - yeah, in those days, you got two
donuts! Impressed the heck out of a 7 year old.

Anyhow, aunt ordered something and a glass of milk for me. I can see
her now, calling the waitress over, pointing to my glass and intoning
"There's LIPstick on that glass". and it was pretty visible. Waitress
in her pink nylon uniform, scowled and removed it.

Five and dime counters were strictly for a real quick burger -- 30
cents, IIRC.
