I know I have mentioned this brilliant idea in the past but
this weekend the idea popped into my head again and the more I think about it,
the more it sounds like the best idea ever. Keep in mind, if anyone comes
up with the capital and the necessary liquor license and copies my brilliant
idea, I will be suing. You read it here first (or in this case years ago
and now, again). There is a new mall opening up in a crazy, out of the
way location that keeps getting so much media attention for apparently being
the biggest mall ever (this I seriously doubt) and because they put the damn
thing out in the sticks and cannot believe that the stores are having
difficulty finding staff! Maybe if someone with half a brain in their
head said at the start of this little adventure “Hey, would you like to work
part time for minimum wage and have to take the bus for almost an hour to get
here for your four hour shift?” Clearly, no one would say yes to
this. So now they have all these unfilled positions because the stores
only want to hire part time, pay crappy wages and offer no benefits.
Hmmm, great business plan…. Opps, apologies…. Went off in a completely
unrelated direction. Back to my brilliant plan! I, along with a few
of my crazy friends (they have no choice in the matter, they are joining me!)
will be opening up a martini bar in the mall. Could you imagine?
Not only will this be great for the stay at home moms (Day drinking?
Yes!), Dudes who get dragged to the mall by their wives/girlfriends but also
those of us who just hate shopping and would prefer to be at the mall, any mall
tipsy. The stores will love and support us (serious spending the drunker
the customer), the cab companies will have to open up a special “mall only”
branch to get people to and fro and me and my people? We will be filthy
rich! I would, of course, make up special martini’s for each season (the
best one being “Back To School-tini”). It will be like all the craft beer
locations that are popping up everywhere but with martinis and delicious
snacks! Who doesn’t love a martini? Now to obtain the ever elusive
liquor license and find a location in the mall next to a daycare! Already
counting my imaginary money!
