No, that is just wrong. Food in 1979 was far different than today; expectations
were for simple and quick and tasty, there was no gourmet fast food elite such
as KFC's chicken filet sandwiches or the latest burger inside two grilled cheese
sammies, but it was fast, substantial and nourishing. I never found Woolworth's
lacking in any of these criteria. The Woolworth food was as braggable as any
other; back then no one bragged, we just ate decent food. Their burgers and
tuna sandwiches and pies were great. For that time, which is true and real.
