1. Written orders eliminate confusion....the order is in the ordering parties own handwriting.

2. In the heyday of the Dining Car it was also a subtle form of discrimination....40/50 years ago not everyone was able to write...those that could not write, could not go to the Dining Car and order.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
