Carhop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A carhop is a waiter or waitress (often) on rollerskates who brings food to people in their cars. Carhops originated in the 1950s when drive-in eateries were popular. Now carhops are only featured at a few remaining original drive-in hotdog stands such as Superdawg, located in Chicago, Illinois, or White Spot of Canada, and nostalgic fast food establishments such as Sonic Drive-In. On occasion, Dog n Suds' waitresses will wear roller skates.

A carhop was the most prominent image on the poster for the film American Graffiti.
