IIRC some Starbucks were toying with selling alcohol but a lounge?

Starbucks Evenings. Starbucks was going to sell a limited selection of wine and beer in store for consumption as a way to drive traffic at night time. Some Target licensed stores were also participatin, but I believe the pilot has since ended.

That sounds like a bad idea.(dui’s etc...) Unless they have shipt drivers shuttling guest back and forth.
Make shipt worth the 500 million spot spent on it

 

[REDcardJJ]

That's probably part of the reason why they discontinued it.

Follow by a target daycare right???

We pretty much provide free-ranging Target daycare already. Guests just drop their little darlings off in Toys and expect the TMs to watch them, then proceed to shop child free. Really free. Every. Single. Weekend.🙄☹️😥

Heck, I believe some stores are already one. I've had to babysit a couple TMs before. Sad thing is, certain management allow it/turn a blind eye to certain individuals. lol.

Evidently our cafe serves as one.
Can't tell you how many times a mom plops the kids down at a table with pizza, hotdogs, popcorn, icees, etc before going off to shop.
We have to deal with mess & mayhem until we're about to bounce them.
Then mom texts the oldest & they clear out leaving a table-ful of food & trash.

I would be too but these kids were something right out of "The Ransom of Red Chief".

Even without a bar for the yoga moms to get all liquored up, a daycare to keep their little 'darlings' from running around the store would be great!

Substitute 'kennel' for daycare....

We could put a ball pit near the bar:
"Here you go ya lil' shit *dumps kid in pit* Mommy has gotta get some adult juice before her shakes become noticable..."

Doubt it's true. In my old world this was something that existed. The rules and regulations are crazy. Hardly seemed worth it.

First, it's The Onion. Everything there must be taken with at least a grain of salt, if not a whole teaspoon. ;-)

That said, I'm in Chicago. Many Mariano's stores actually do have wine bars in store. I haven't been at the store during the cited hours, so I don't know off-hand if there are any happy hour type specials going on over there. My local store also has a rather large dining area, sushi and barbecue bars, a pizza station, a grill station (buy your meat and they'll cook it for you while you shop), what I laughingly call Cheese World (a glassed-off area that's about 30x30 filled with cheeses and charcuterie-board type meats), a full service deli including a variety of entrees and sides, and the relatively typical salad and "hot" bars. And yes, they have a piano man, and the pianos are equipped to play autonomously when there's no actual musician present.

Our local market has a wine bar. Nice for after work shopping.
