A friend of mine owned a nice car wash with multiple bays. The self service wand type of place. 100% cash, all quarters.
He has the IRS after him because some bean counter looked at his water bill and calculated the time it takes to wash the average car and he was using way more water than that bean counter figured he should.
He told the investigator to meet him at the car wash on a Monday morning. As usual several stalls had some of road mud lover stop and wash their truck and leave huge piles of mud and crap. He showed how every morning he gets there and has to clean the place up. He had to hose all the concrete down and then clean out the grease and mud traps. He showed the investigator the cash collection for the night and ran it through the counter. He spent several hours there and a lot of water to get the place ready for customers to come wash cars.
In the end they decided the water numbers fit his income. My buddy admitted he would buy himself a 12 pack of beer about once a week with quarters. He called it his bosses bonus.
