Actually it's slightly of the topic and not near so sinister, but I came
up with a chance of fast-food joints for my game called "Psychic Sals",
each chance has a series of mind probe style spells anchored around
there doorways, enabling them to have your order ready by the time you
reach the counter. Talk about fast-food. ;o)

It may not completely make sense under anchoring/game-mechanics, but
it's mainly for role-playing and comic relief. Those who quibble about,
"What if I don't know what I want?" I answer with, you always have some
idea of what sounds good in the back of you conscious, you are allowed
to change your order but then they don't have to keep to their
two-minute service guarantee. Also, I figure anyone going in is a
voluntary target, and corporate policy will only only surfacing probing
for your order...
