Having worked in food service, and security, I was quite happy to NOT have that much cash. I mean come on, would you want to have that much cash in an open environment with no "security" around?
Secondly, for those that worked in food service in the old days (actually cooking meals). The move to the food I can only call "rations" was a good move. I wonder what the WTS did with all that cooking equipment they bought at the time? They had a fleet of semis that traveled the U.S. full of large convection cookers.
Lastly, the tickets were fun. I had to make $15 in tickets last 4 days.
