Waitress clipping the meat ration coupon, 1944

Waitress clipping the meat ration coupon, 1944

Restaurants were not immune from the food rationing imposed by the government during the Second World War. At first, people eating in restaurants did not need to present their ration coupon books as restaurant proprietors managed their own rationing, but from 1944, when meat rationing was introduced, wait staff had to collect meat coupons from patrons. This waitress is clipping a man's meat coupon sheet at an Auckland restaurant.
