I worked at McD's in the late 70s-early 80s and it was actually a cool high school job as far as jobs go. Everyone you worked with except for a couple managers, you knew from high school and partied after work on the weekends. The food was directly off the grill, now they're stored in bins and compiled when ordered and microwaved. And we had to be friendly, fast and courteous or we were gone. You high school kids that work in fast food can look those words up if you like. Now you're lucky if your cashier even says anything to you. As far as your list, I should have a ton of them, but the only thing I've got right now is: 3.2 beer (That you could buy when you're 18.) Cash D.

We never heard of Day Care. Stay at home moms? Well, of course. My grandmother watched these kids up the street during the day and we thought that was really strange.

[/b][/color][/quote] Nah, that ain't right. McAlpin's never had any connection to Shillito's. Shilito's became Lazarus and then was eventually bought out by Macy's. At least some of them were. Pogues was a totally different store. Actually there was a Pogues downtown on 5th street and Shillito's was on 7th and Race. Dilliards was also an independant store that was opened by John Dilliard. Dilliard's did acquire a few McAlpins stores in the 90's but they had nothing to do with Shillito's. MULLY my grandma worked for Shillito's/Lazarus for 40 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
