    @podspawn: There isn't a TV on the wall, it's an MS Surface disguised as a tv.


    Still, she's hot.

    @tremans:


    "When you see a nudist wedding

    as we did the other day,

    you can watch the groom's expression

    when they give the bride away,

    you can tell by her reaction

    if the models old or new,

    you can always tell the best man

    at a nudist wedding too.


    Now some creditors came forward at a clearing in the hills

    and asked to see a statement that would justify her bills

    when they viewed her liabilities, the atmosphere was tense

    but when she showed her assets, boy her assets were immense"

    "real-time cart info and other POS services"


    While I understand the proper meaning of the acronym, it still gave me a good chuckle.


    Also, another site had more pictures about the same thing, and when looking at it I realized how much stuff Microsoft has.

    @Ethan Shaffer:


    nitpick - POS is an abbreviation, not an acronym.


    (i never do this next part but it seems appropriate)


    kthxbye

    That's the same girl as in those ads for Surface, I think. She's hot. And so is that store.


    Still not understanding the idea of a private store.

    @nintendude: Some corporations keep on-campus stores for either employees, guests, or tours. The purpose is to give the employees access to their own products at reduced prices. When I worked at Nike, their store would offer items not commonly sold in the U.S.. Then there was the end of the product line dash where they gut out a warehouse of items that have been crossed off the inventory, put it on a table or pile, and employees had 15 minutes to grab whatever whenever for a like a $1 each, $.50 each, or maybe even free like the Xmas one I went to.

    @Deadhouseplants will never get a star by his name, but he'l...: I've heard many companies are doing something similar as part of downsizing efforts. Laid off employees are placed on tables, and for a small fee, other employees are allowed to tear them to pieces and eat their warm and meaty flesh. Apparently, it's very good for team building among remaining employees.
