This megamall experience will put you to sleep
At the Mall of America a "napping center" wil be opening next month that charges 70 cents per minute for nap time. The new store will be called "MinneNAPolis" and will consist of at least three themed rooms: Asian Mist, Tropical Isle and Deep Space. Its clients could include mall employees who need naps between shifts or simply a break from the steady stream of people who pass through their stores. Oh right; like somebody making $7 an hour would spent $42 for an hour nap. As one mall employee pointed out, it would be cheaper to buy a movie ticket for $8 and spend two hours sleeping through a quiet movie. Apparently you need to be both tired AND stupid to be a client there. Mall officials said the store would adhere to a one-person-per-room policy, removing any redeeming value the store might have!
