Meet Elmer {everyones favorite cashier} with Mrs. Elmer another cashier ....both worked at Old Comiskey Park In the 1970s we got paid cash at the end of the day. The ballparks used tickets..like you see in the picture here....to keep track of loads.. One ticket said office {or something like that} and the other half send vendor...in the days before computer generated tickets and tracking. So you would take out your copies and Elmer counted up the tickets he had in your name. {very sophisticated...lol} Assuming you both agreed, he used a calculator to figure out your gross which he wrote in at the top of your pay ticket. When you worked at Old Comiskey, you wanted Elmer to be your cashier. Why? By forking over a 25 cent tip....and saying go easy on the tax he would take off perhaps a dime to 25 cents off the gross ....and you would go home with a nice net Since we were kids...not making too much ...this didnt come back to bite us Income Tax time
