1. Remove Frappuccino from the menu.
Seriously...let's take another chain's stupid idea (The Coolatta) and make our own take on it. Yeesh.

Yes, I work at Starbucks.

3. Sweet Jesus!
Why didn't I think of that? I mean I've even got the $500 industrial-strength 900HP blender.

10. Would you need a liquor license for that?
or would it not apply if you didnt sell them, and only gave them to employees?

11. No license need provided you're not charging for them
at least that's the law here, my hairdresser has a great scam going...she gives beer to her clients for while they wait. $25 for a haircut and free beer while I wait an hour for my color to set.

8. Guinness on draught
and basic office tasks exams for all the employees. I swear I could drink 50 pints and still function better than some of the bone heads we have around here.

14. Move it away from all the, uh, "people experiencing housing insecurity".
And somewhere where it's near more bus lines, and more than two restaurants (of which one is a Jack in the Box).

16. Add computer systems to track members' use of the facilities...
replace the rickety vacuum with a new one, get rid of all the battery-powered toys and replace them with fun toys that do NOT create a huge cacophony, and build a better storage system.

(I work at a health club daycare.)

17. Let us have our small fridges, microwaves, and coffee-makers back.
They made us get rid of small appliances about 2 years ago to "save money." I would like to see how much they actually saved.

Meanwhile, the buildings are so hot, we have to open the windows in the winter.

Oh, and get rid of the right-wing tech guy who blocks all the interesting places (including DU) on the internet.
