Notes on this strip:

- Not much, really. Uh, P.O.S. stands for "point of sale" - the touch screens where the waitresses would input orders to be sent to the bar or kitchen.

- I feel kind of uncomfortable sharing salary info, but figured it was important to show the contrast. That's 1 1/2 hours' pay for a book (bought after 1st check) versus a full night shift's pay (on a good night) - or eight lunch shifts - for stuff you had to purchase before you could start working. Not that I was expecting everything to be provided, but dang.
