He regularly told stories of the end of day balance, and the fact that, if they were out on cashing up, and the amount was between the bank's agreed "write off" (minimal) and a threshold agreed between the staff, then there would be a whip round to allow them to head off home.
Any daily surplus, of course, went into a kitty to set off against potential future shortfalls.
