Yo Ambrose, the good ol’ days. I was one of those waiters working in waikiki and living on the North Shore. What amazes me is I worked at Chuck’s Black Angus rest. and we made better tips then some waiters make now (35 yrs later) but when you take in to inflation we made about 4 times more then they do today.Aloha, Kokua
