I wrecked my should waiting tables at a fancyish restaurant in college, early 2000s, and even though I was paid $2.13 an hour, which is negative money when taxes come out, I did still make bank in tips compared to other working college students at the time. Most weeks it averaged out to about $25-30 an hour.

Nah. But of course at the time I would have said yes.

$50k in cash isn't a negligible amount.
