Yes, I remember automats. And the lunch counters at Montgomery Wards, Grants, and Woolworth's. Howard Johnson's at the rest stops along the 'thru'ways (do not fold, spindle or mutilate), and the not-thought-of-racist at the time Little Black Sambo's restaurants. All good food at one time.
However, combined with a lifetime of firearms geekery, my brain saw the logo on that token and pictured a Kalshnikov in .375 H&H.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

Heard their Apple Pie was good.
One of my regrets is that I was born to late for automats. Looks like an eatery concept I would enjoy.
