I miss this institution gravely. An essential part of seventies mall existence.

Is it run by geezers, though?

oh yeah, when i went to visit my parents over memorial day i drove past the strip mall where they used to have a fotomat ... and i discovered that they finally tore it down. i mean, it had been left abandoned for 10+ years, but still ... a piece of my childhood destroyed by the man!

The server guy is SO squeaky voiced teen from the Simpsons.

"Pepperoni PIZ-za sir?!?"

and he probably grew up and became a pitchfork.com staff writer!

No, the guy with the hat is an evil ex-clown strung out on PCP and he poisoned the pizza and is willing to force-feed it to you if you don't take a bite RIGHT NOW.

The fotomat in my town turned into a cigarettemat. Genius.
