Kresge was the beginning of the modern big-box store. Mr. Kresge
developed Kmart.

All the original Kmarts had small "cafeterias" in them. Depending on who
was running that department, the food could be very good and it was
reasonably priced. I knew of one store where the grill manager would
have an "employee lunch special" every day and post the menu by the time
clock a month in advance so the workers could plan their lunches.

She was the most popular employee in the store.
