Soda jerk

Soda jerk is the name for the person—typically specific to young men—who works the soda fountain in a drugstore. The term is somewhat archaic these days, as there are very few drugstores that still serve ice cream and soda.
Some theme diners exist styled after the old diners of the 50's and include an actual soda jerk, along with standard jukeboxes and booth seating.
