A & W ROOTBEER

This is what the  A & W Root beer Stand looked like that Ronna worked at. We had one like this on Main street and Mesa Drive.  You could sit in your car and a car hop would come out with a tray that hooked onto  the window.
Then there was another A & W out in East Mesa and I think both Vallerie and Ronna worked at that one.  It was always such a fun, cool treat to go and get a root beer float  on a hot summer day.  They were the best.  I'm sure Ronna has more memories she could tell us.

My very first job,was at the
A&W in East Mesa. The stand looked very much like the one your picture, instead of asphalt, it was just desert dirt. I would sit in the shade up next to the window so I could get a little A/C relief in the hot summer. Yep, I was a carhop! No roller skates, just alot of dust!

I liked my job very much. I could have a Root Beer whenever I wanted, but only one frosted mug. Those mugs were hard to keep frosted when we were busy on hot summer days.

I would always order french fries for my lunch and my boss would say, "ketchup with those?" I would always say, "No Thank-you" He would say, "You don't know what you're missing, you should try it just once" So..I tried it, and I have been eating ketchup with my fries ever since!

I remember that A&W...barely...but I do remember.
My fondest memories of A&W are the days when I could actually enjoy one without gaining a few pounds.
One of the best and most refreshing treats, ever!
