These two look like they could easily afford to eat elsewhere, but everyone loves an automat. This one was in Grand Central Station in 1948.

Horn & Hardart Automat at West 57th Street near Sixth Avenue, March, 1957. Horn & Hardart opened the first automat in Times Square on July 2, 1912. They took the concept from a successful German restaurant. By the mid-20th century, there were over 50 Horn & Hardart restaurants in New York, serving 350,000 customers a day.
