65 cents for chicken salad?!? OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
I would agree with you if it was just a run of the mill chicken salad sandwich, but after all, it's a toasted 3 decker sandwich
Wow, Woolworths! When I was a kid, there were three 5&10s in my home town--Woolworths, Grants and Kresges. It was a big deal if we were downtown shopping and sat down at the counter for something to eat. I remember getting flavored Cokes at Woolworths, and hot dogs at Grants were served on these toasted buns that came in a big loaf.
When I moved to Chicago in the early 90s, there were still a couple of Woolworths in my neighborhood. It was the only place where you could buy a pair of socks without driving out to a shopping center. One closed right after we got there and got converted into a gym. The other one was torn down to make room for a parking lot.

As late as 1985 I used to lunch occassionally at the Rexall Drug Store lunch counter in Venice, Florida... My "go to" sandwich was the Grilled Cheese with Bacon, Fries and a Vanilla Coke for under $2.00!
Kresge's - There's a name that I haven't thought of in a blue moon.
Brings back memories....
Kinda steep. I thought they were a five and dime.
The town in which I attended grad school somehow managed to keep a drug store/soda shop in business. Best shakes I've ever had, besides Cook Out (you central NC'ers know what I'm talking about...).
What is up with charging 39c for the Super Jumbo Banana Split?
Woolworth's, when I was a kid my mom would pick me up from school for lunch. We always went to Woolworth's and she never cared if I got back to school a little late.....That was huge as my mom was a teacher...Thanks for the short stroll down memory lane, something I had all but forgotten.
