Aside from say, a photo ID or something like that how do you give proof of residency? Do you take your cable bill with you to the gun shop?

Yup, that's exactly what you do. I think they prefer phone bills or car registration though. If s/o else covers utilities and you don't have a car, you can get your landlord to write out some sort of affadavit that you can have notarized, I think... Welcome to California!

My god...that is so sad.

Bad, you say? Here in WV you have do do that just to renew, or change the address on, your driver's license. EVERY TIME. Getting (and renewing) a CCW here is way easier than dealing with the DMV.

Why is it sad?

California gun owners allow it, few get involved or vote so they must approve overall.
So glad I moved back to Texas!
