Where did the carts come from? Did they have employees scattered around that stored them in a garage? Did they bike them from the industrial park? Did they trailer them around the city and offload? Were they owner operated/franchised, or a big conglomerate?
Did they just plug the cart into a 120V outlet so it stayed cold in storage? Did they have to remove all the ice cream every day?
AAAHHHHHH

One of my first summer jobs was pedaling a 9 million pound Dickie Dee cart around. Based solely on my experience:
1. A local family stored everything at their house, in the garage. My understanding is that the 'equipment' was rented from a bigger corp, and you buy the supplies from them.
2. They plugged in to get cold. I'll tell you, I would spend a whole afternoon (4-5 hours) in the blazing sun and it would remain super cold.
3. I made a commission on each sale. A $1 item would get you a dime, a $2 item gets you a quarter, etc.
I doubt I ever made more than few bucks an hour, but when you're 13 years old, $20 and a free frozen treat was a decent deal.
My favorite part....the inventory sheet. Counting/tracking how many of each item you took out and how many you came back with.

That was my experience too when I did it for a summer.
My favorite part as a 15yo was working the beach. Got to talk to everyone. Especially the 15yo ladies I was interested in.

When was there a RedRooster in Abbydale? I lived there from 89-96. All that was there then was a Mac's.
Corner of Memorial and 68th St. It was in the strip mall where that Philipino resteraunt and used book store is now. It was there from when we moved there is 86 and closed down/switched names sometime in the 90s.
