Haha, actually, I'm a little younger. Still have gray in my beard, though.
This was a family owned company that made their ice cream at one of their locations in town fresh daily and delivered it to the other locations via refrigerated truck. Top tier, fresh ingredient only, french-pot process deliciousness. Our customers would often ask, "What's good today?" be cause quality varied by the ingredients. Not a good season for bananas sometimes, great season for dark cherry others.
I do remember being the "go to" guy for malts and chocolate sodas. Most kids working the counter didn't even know what a chocolate soda was, let alone how to make one that inspired that childhood nostalgia.
Pay was minimum wage, but one of my favorite jobs in life. Nobody comes in to buy icecream and be sad. Causing that nostalgia by nailing a malt or turtle sunday just like they had when they were a kid was absolute job satisfaction.
Oh, and to stay on topic. Please, do yourself a favor. DON'T try to make a chocolate soda with a 2 liter bottle of soda water and coolwhip. It just isn't the same. You need real, pressurized soda water and freshly made whipped cream. Trust me, it matters.
