From Sunrise To Last Call: The Women Behind The Counter

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / From Sunrise To Last Call: The Women Behind The Counter
Published: July 20, 2025 by VPR Producer

Diners are an American staple. It’s where you stop for a piece of pie and a cup of coffee from coast to coast. But small, mom and pop diners are slowly disappearing to larger chains. We uncover how old-school waitresses at these are key to communities and what it’s like being in this industry for 40, 50 or 60+ years.
