High Schoolers always had money for fast food. I remember always having money for Wendy's or Burger King. It was like a priority in our lives back in the day.

What gets me is if you noticed, when ever Shirley delivered food to the boys table, they would always leave the restaurant without even eating the food, they didnt even ask Shirley for a doggie bag. lol

Also, most times that Shirley delivered the food to the boys, she would take giant bites out of their sandwiches before giving it up.

I agree. And when I was a kid, it never dawned on me to wonder where they got the money from.

And it never dawned on me at all until I read this thread.

Plus they mainly went there to hang out and not really eat or just to get a soda

Well back in the day 10 cents was like 25 cents today.

They must have been some weak ass sodas to be only 10 cents!

I said "CREDIT", like running up a tab. NOT credit CARD. Just credit, to be paid in cash at a later date.

It was never mentioned that the Thomas Family was poor like the Evans on Good Times
