It's probably more popular in Canada. I don't even have an A&W resturant in my state.

@Rolexeo There is still an A&W restaurant, with carhop service, where it originated in Lodi, California. Not the original, which actually was a cart, but close to where Mr. Allen served his first frosty mug. There is a historical marker where he served the first mug at a parade. But few and far between these days. The reason McDonald's came to dominate the fast food franchise industry initially, and overtake other franchise chains like A&W, was the tight quality control that Mr. Kroc insisted upon during his lifetime.
