I remember coming here eons ago - different name - can't even remember but still drinking the same coffee grown on the slopes of some Jamaican mountain? no more than one a day usually - should I try more for my health?

“Lunch Counter”

​
"As a model for a typical drugstore of the kind in which thousands of Americans grab a quick lunch every day, John Falter chose a favorite at 20th Street and Fourth Avenue, in New York. "

"It's a spot where Falter likes to eat when working in New York. For one reason, he knows the ordering lingo and gets fast service. If he wants a CC and J, he says so, and doesn't have to waste time saying 'cream cheese and jelly.' "

"He's not so expert at this, however, as the new waitress who came to work there one day. By noon she knew the routine thoroughly, and called out, 'I've got tuna plate a pair, four draws working with the cream up, a CC and J down and a stack of black and white.' "

"The newcomer's proficiency irked the girl behind the counter, 'Harry,' she told the counterman, 'I want two pieces of whole-wheat toast.' 'What?' said Harry in astonishment. 'All right,' said the veteran, 'two down brown.'"
