Was that really a thing, going to diners where there were waitresses actually skating around in rollerblades taking and bringing your order?

Blades have all the wheels in a line, making them like ice-skates.

Carhops at Sonic Drive-Ins sometimes wear skates, though I believe it's optional, or maybe even discouraged.

Roller skates have the four wheels in the shape of a square.

And yeah, those places were real. A Sonic I went to in NC a few times had the wait staff on skates but that was like a decade ago

There's no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
It's "would've", "should've" and "could've".
