Made a nice chunk of change by the time I was through. Enough money to pay for a semester of college. Made .15 commission apiece, but real money was in the tips. Wasn’t uncommon for people to pay $1 on a fifty cent paper. I also got decent discounts on merchandise at local businesses downtown from making friends with ownership. Bars would comp me drinks.
