Yeah. Imagine the issue of puking up a cocktail on the merchandise after having a bit too much. I say that's a call for some free merchandise. Get thee to the Donna Karan section.

You know I could have used something like during the Christmas rush when I worked at JCPenney. I'm sure you know what it's like to answer the same questions a millions of times and having to deal with last minute shoppers who are scrambling over the display you've so neatly folded a minute before. It would have made up for the sore feet, legs, and back you know. Oh and the customers who are always right. Arggh.

The food court in Kadewe in Berlin has a bar I think. They have nearly everything else there is to possible eat or drink up there (it's definitely worth the trip if you are ever in Berlin).

I used to enjoy a lazy lunch and a break from shopping at the John Lewis department store's Restaurant in Bristol. It is licenesed and the food was delicious, probably still is!

"Choose from salads, sandwiches and soups, plus cooked to order sweet and savoury crepes. Our hot food area serves griddled and stir-fried food and we also serve a large selection of home made cakes, scones, tortes and cream teas.

Every Sunday we serve a roast. The Place to Eat is also licensed, and serves a range of wines. "

No they serve Budweiser, Miller and fried inedible parts of animals there, not beer and food.
