Imagine this con tinning for three hours without an In terruptlon and you have a fair plctu of a ''quick lunch" restaurant In A Isnta between the hours of 11 and I. "How many customers do we serve In a day?" It wae the Cashier of one of -the more popular restaurants talk Ing. "Well, It's hard to say. We think It's a good average day If we serve thousand for lunch." If you are fond of mathematic* Just put down a few figures. A thousand men, fifty seate, three hour# for lunch eon. That gives an average of twenty customers to a scat. Nine minutes for each customer. "What can a mao eat In # minutes?" Well, If he were very hungry and try ing to catCh a train he might make in road* Into quite an extensive meal, but as a rule the business man doesn't give an elaborate order unless he haa a friend to lunch at a fashionable cafe. HI* order at a quick lunch counter Is one kind of meat, table, coffee or mil ip with one hand for tha last sip of ’“ee, hs reaches for his check with th* other. Many customers consume considerably lees than the 9-mlnuto average and legva the restaurant safe against hunger until they reach home at night. "Yes, we feed a thousand very easily between II and J," said one waiter. "Of course It keeps the waiters hust ling. Some of them are faster then others, and the average girl Is quicker than a man and makes fewer mistakes after eh* has learned her trade. They each have eo many seat* to watch, so many customers to serve, though they help each other when convenient. "Each waiter must serve a grt many custamera when a thousand l. to be fed, you see. I have been behind th* counter a long time, and my rerord I* 155 In three hours. That's a little more than fifty an hour, Isn't It? Al most a customsr a minute, and each one would have three or four Items perhaps On* has to hustle. You see. each man must have napkin, knife and fork and plate as soon as hs sits down. Then besides the things he orders you must see that he gets sugar, a glass of water and all the little things that make up the service. Then we have to clear away all the dishes that the last man left behind him. We don't have much time to talk anything but business." "Of course, th* rush doesn't keep up all day," he continued. "W* have two force* of waiters. On* comes on be fore breakfast and works to t o'clock. The other comes on at 10 and work* until 7, giving us a double force for the noon hours. They pay the waiter* pretty well, I reckon, though not more than they earn. And they don't get anything ‘on th* side' In a place like this. Nobody thinks of tipping the waller. 'A lot of money taken In, you say? Welt, that's true, but It takes a lot of meals to make a very large sum. You see, the average check le not more than 15 cents. Rome are a dime, some run up over th* half-dollar, but an av erage would be less than a quarter. About 15 cent* Is light, 1. guess. Break fast and supper checks average more than that." Twenty cents will purchase a plenti ful meal for the overage man. Flf. teen cents wtll buy llsh nr meat with a few mashed potatoes and th* other live will pay for coffee or milk. And the coffee In most of the quick Jflm-h places Is of the first quality, the milk rich and full ot cream. The dishes are clean, the food Is well cooked, the smell of the kitchen le swept away by big exhaust fans In the rear, the waiter* are polite, as a matter of course, and not became they expect a tip. Tlpe are not com mon here. The waiter handles no change to remind the customer of lib erality and the average man would feel hardly called upon to give away a dim with every 10-rent luncheon. Th* wall era depend entirely upon their wage*. What sort of men eat 10-eent lunch eons? That question may be answered by a glance at the counters during the rush hour.

The lunch counter custom ers are not given to Indigestible*.
