It is true that you must maintain more chlorine residual with a higher CYA--in your example, you start out with more busboys so that the drunken women tie up a smaller percentage of your help.

But the higher CYA also keeps the sun from consuming as much chlorine, which is needed in my case-- in straight sun for 100% of the day in daily temps ranging from 80-110, if the busboys have no shade, then there's nobody alive when the drunken women come around!
