    If there’s an old couple that eats there every day then you know you’re about to have a good meal.

    Ours closed years ago. It was always the same cook and the same waitress working there for at least a decade. It made the local fast food breakfast look ridiculous. Omelet platters for 10.00. You’d be lucky to find that for 25.00 anymore, honestly. In a small town of less than 5000 spread out over such a big rural area, they just couldn’t keep up.

        “Is Pepsi ok?” “NO!!! NOTHING IN MY LIFE IS OK!!!” runs off sobbing

        “…I don’t think that was about the Pepsi.”

        I like the color blue better than red, even though I prefer Coke over Pepsi. That said, I prefer Mt Dew (owned by Pepsi) over both. Well, diet Dew these days, but still.

      We found a place in… North Carolina maybe? That had red Coke cups but only served Pepsi.

      When asked, they said something about how Pepsi was going to charge them for their cups so they kept using the Coke ones. When asked why they stopped selling Coke, they said something about how Coca-Cola was giving them way less money than before so they switched to Pepsi.

      I don’t remember much else about that place other than they had AMAZING chicken.

      The American east coast is an adventure.

    My modern* city has some diners but the price is over $10. One place is like $15 near me, I know of others that are more expensive. I still enjoy eating at any diner when I leave the city.

    *America has questionable modernity.

      Yep. I got $12 scrambled eggs with toast, and a $4 coffee.

      When I went into a small town, it was $7 for everything.

      Agreed. If the award plaques aren’t from at least 10 years ago, then it’s not authentic.
