Cash Register Update

Interesting article in the Times today about cash registers and the last guy on the Bowery selling new models and repairing old ones.  They mention in passing that bars still want an old looking cash register to add a little authentic ambience.  Above is a quick sketch of two kinds of cashbox, a kind of ‘Eighties electronic register with a LCD display that apparently doesn’t work anymore, and the old standby of yore, an El Producto cigar box.  Chalk one up for you Luddites; the cigar box still holds money.  The bar is the Clinton Hotel in Binghamton.  Stay tuned to see what this will look like as a real painting.
