I'd go there. There are definitely days where I'd drop more on the counter and days I'd have to drop less.

Pretty neat.

Ever notice that inside shopping malls, people walk side-by-side in packs? Real tough guys who think just because they're in a group, they can force other people to step aside and make way.........But if they're alone, they pussy out like the pussies they are.

This isn't new.

The book Freakonomics had a few references to companies and studies that did the exact same thing.

I'll go back and reread that section.

I'd suggest you read it...if it ever becomes a movie.
