Well, I wanted to have the back of the shop for smokers, and the front for non-smokers (so that the non-s don't have to walk through the s-area...)
...but when a big group of 12 people after the theatre comes in and takes the seats in the front with 4 of them smoking - I can't tell these 4 to go to the back for their ciggy.
I am so lucky that I have a very, very good ventilation system (thanx Starbucks! Yes, you've heard right
) This is the only place where I come home and don't smell like smoke - I swear! Usually, as I have long hair, it would smell like cold smoke even after a 10 minutes stop in a smoking area.... here I have a special button for the "party mode"
I used it today, for example. I can choose how much fresh air it should use, how much rpm, and I have that extra party-turbo mode that sucks out the air real quick.
So until today nobody had a problem with smokers.
And I have to admit I don't have ashtrays on the tables until someone asks for one. That freaks out the "I-don't really-have-to" smokers. Many don'T smoke because they think it's a non-smoking area.
The ones that really HAVE TO ask anyway
Cheers
Joey
