In the 70's and 80's, these things were dangerous as frick for a young guy.

Pick up some ice cream and Coke on the way home, run out to get a six pack during the game, snacks on the way to work...

End of the month you get a huge bill and wonder, "What the hell did I buy at K&B?"

I worked at K&B in college. Was my first real job. I quit around the time Rite Aid bought them out.
I was a manager trainee at K&B, between jobs. It was horrible. I got out of there as soon as I could.

Everyone there hated their job. The district manager would come in and ignore the employees like we were stock on the shelves. The store manager was a perv who looked through every single set of customer photos that we developed. I'd worked in retail before but I'd never been in a store where everybody hated the place.

I blame it on the purple vests.

Funny you say that. My manager would look through the customers photos too! I NEVER had film developed there, and I worked in the place. Lol Must've been a K&B thing. He was an old perv, but he was cool to me at the time. I was only 18, so I gave zero fricks.

The worse was that they gave all the employees a K&B credit card, but it wasn't a real credit card, it was linked to your check. They would take the charges out of your paycheck each pay period. There were times where I'd get a $100 paycheck for 2 weeks. Lol

Anything Goes. Loved that theme restaurant as a kid.
