Telephone booths were still pretty common until the early 90's

Enclosed ones with doors?

Around here they were all little nooks at best.

in the UK, yeah -- all the way to the early 2000s you could get free shelter

Pay phones =/= phone booths.

You saw them in restaurants and bars, but the companies didn't want the hassle of maintaining full on booths.

Right even the ones on the street weren’t “booths” they were more like stands. At least in the US.
