I do remember. I was replying to something that isn't even here. It had to
do with someone, I think it was you, saying that they didn't know anyone who
would take a job that with tips would equate to minimum wage or something
like that. I was saying that they would only take such a low paying job if
they could not get any other job. And that is the case in some areas. I do
know some people who have had to do things like that.
