In an Equal Money System there will not be waiters. Waiters, also referred to as 'servers' are in essence slaves that take orders of those who have money to be able to sit in a room and be served. In a system where each has enough to be able to live comfortably, there will likely not be anyone willing to run around for 8-10 hours at a time bringing food to people. There will likely not even be restaurants as we know them in an Equal Money System. There will likely not be cooks, busboys, valet parking, or hostesses whose only job is to greet people at the front entrance and find a table for them to sit at. None of this will exist in an Equal Money System, for the simple fact that there will be no one who, due to a lack of money, has no choice but to become a slave to those who have money and therefore don't even have to make their own food but have the luxury to sit on their ass and have it brought to them.On the other hand it means that we will likely become effective at making our own meals and thus we may like to make meals for each other and to enjoy each other's company. In that case it may be fun to cook a meal and present to others, but it won't be done from the starting point that one has no choice and thus must do it for survival. And then meals could be quite cool. One would not expect 'service' and instead would be grateful for what one receives and one would obviously give thanks and show gratitude and appreciation for the other person's effort. Then eating and cooking could become real self-expression and not something one do as a pre-programmed consumer behavior.
