::chuckle:: Might be the reason they changed it... more places to hide
makes it easier to rob, after all.
::mental image forms:: A group of suits at Stuffer Shack headquarters are
going over the robbery footage from the security camera... the footage shot
while the group was playing "Food Fight". Bottles are exploding everywhere,
and the young, ambitious suit who prepared the presentation has put a nuyen
ticker in the bottom, showing just how much this fight is costing. The
fight comes to an end, and the suit stops the tape, with the final nuyen
total blinking on the screen, slowly turning red. "Now then, according to
our estimates, problems of this sort have popped up over 30000 times in the
last eleven years." The nuyen count is now bright red, and multiplies
itself by 30000 times. "And this is all because we continue to use this
identical layout in every store. Now then, if we were to follow my
suggestion," the display changes, showing a more open stuffer shack design,
with plenty of free-fire lanes and things kept closed behind bullet-proof
glass... easily openable, but self-closing "we could conceivably save this
amount of money over the next 11 years, and have smaller insurance claims."
As the boardroom begins to argue about how to implement it, the young suit
leans back, knowing full well he'll be VP within a week. ::mental image
