no....

I just got off the phone with Gene and he informed me that Metro is non-smoking now.

FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING HEALTH NAZIS

Excuse me while I go scream.

I don't smoke anymore, but I've never understood the point of not having bars/restaurants/etc. specifically for smokers. It seems much easier to simply let people have a choice.


You can still smoke in my hot tub all you want!

What's galling is that the fuss was raised mostly about bars and music clubs, but all they have to do is purchase a permit to allow smoking. Sadly, Metro doesn't have that option.

Yay, hot tub! I can't wait for that. I've been missing it. You know it's been pouring rain all week, everything should be green when you get home.

Why doesn't Metro have that option? I am just curious. Is it b/c they don't allow alcohol? Or, do they serve food??

It's because 70% of their sales do not come from alcohol. Which is a stupid, arbitrary number and the council plainly admits that. Grr.

does metro sell alcohol now?

[identity profile] tsarina.livejournal.com 2004-06-12 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
No, they can't because there are so many churches right around that block. So they are not eligible to get a bar permit or a liquor license.

Hehe, I just thought "Damn I can't give Karen a bloody nose! She will probably give me one too." ;)

I know you will be glad to return to Metro. I only hope they can stay in business. That truly worries me.

i am sure they will be fine. they will probably get more business because their regulars will go and all the people who used to call it too smokey will go too. it is in a great location.
