Car Hops Returning!

Watching some national news coverage of the general interest variety, aimed towards how small businesses are adapting to all this Corona Virus nonsense-----some restaurants are talking about car hops coming back. Can outfitting them with roller skates and poodle skirts be in our future too?

Good gravy does that type of dining outside the home bring back memories of my youth in the '50's & '60's.

The Sonic restaurants still have car hops. Pretty sure they quit the roller skates a while back.

And some of the have NO business wearing poodle skirts!

A couple of the Sonic car hops near me still skate.But they are the minority, most don't skate, probably don't even know how to skate.
