I completely understand, CA renter. At that time I just made sure my busboy and bartender were taken care of and rolled my coins and stacked up my cash daily (like with like denominations and all the same direction), which I deposited weekly with a walk-up human teller. In other words, laughed all the way to the bank 🙂
btw, this was a very skilled job. Not only did you have to possess an extraordinary memory, but needed to be able to handle a 50#+ serving tray or 25#+ cocktail tray with one arm and hand, carrying the tray stand with the other. You also needed to have table service skills, including wine stewarding, shelling lobster tails, instructing on how to crack and disengage crab from its shell and slice roast beef steaks for your customers, all the while remaining poised and making everything look effortless.
We weren’t even allowed to let more than two cig butts accumulate in an ashtray before silently replacing it or allow a lady customer to rise without first assisting with her chair, so we had to stand like statues in the corner of our stations when not serving customers 🙂
