I asked a question about Route 66, this came up as side question.
Diners, like you see on TV and the movies.
There’s a waitress in a red-and-white checked uniform, she’s got a fag cigarette hanging out of her mouth and is holding a big pot of coffee that she near constantly tops up people’s cups with. She’s dead chatty.
How true to life is that? Is it just on the screen or is that just genuinely a relatively common thing?
If it is common, what’s the deal with coffee? Do you get charged per cup or is it just kind of a flat fee, free refills thing?
