I worked at Price's around 1961 in Dallas. At $0.90 per hour, uniforms furnished, and half price on food. There were three stores in Dallas. Mine was in an old McDonalds, with the gold arches. We had a covered outside eating area with a gravel floor and the plywood figure we talked to the kids through. We all hated having to clean the area and rake the gravel.
I have good memories of flipping hamburgers and making the best fries in town. We peeled a sack of russet potatoes in a big machine and cut them into fries. Then we soaked them in water, drained and then blanched at 350 and then deep fried at 450. We made our own sauce with ketchup, mayo, and mustard. The hamburger patties were nine to a pound.
19 cent burgers, 24 cent cheese burgers, 19 cent shakes and fries, 10 cent sodas and we never wrote the orders down.
