Pun-ished.
As for my business? A long-gone tradition of my childhood. A pizza buffet with a jukebox and a full-sized arcade where all the games only cost one quarter to play.
- An Irish one that serves fish 'n' chips, beef and Guinness stew, colcannon, and, of course, soda bread.
- A Venezuelan one with empanadas, arepas, arroz con gandules, Venezuelan potato salad, and your choice of, among other things, either Malta or Frescolita.
- A burger place, preferably one like on the game Sim Town where the building is in the shape of burger with a big smiley face on it.
- A reallyreallyreally good pizza place. One with separate menus: One people who like their pies with frills and fancy toppings and one for people who think a simple pizza Margherita is the best thing on this planet.
And, of course, all of these places would have the same set of rules:
1) No yelling at the staff.
2) No waiting until *after* your food is brought out to say "Oh, actually, I wanted *such and such*". You will eat what you ordered and like it, or you may possibly end up wearing it.
3) If you have a food allergy or some other kind of dietary requirement/preference, let your server know before you order; not when you're already halfway through a taco with extra guacamole and you're allergic to avocados.
4) There will be no eating your entire entree, claiming you didn't like it, and demanding compensation. If you order something, taste it, and something is genuinely wrong with it, make it known. If you order something, taste it, and find nothing wrong with it but complain anyway, the only thing you will receive is a complimentary 'GTFO'.
5) If you bring children into the restaurant, you will be expected to keep them under supervision at all times. Neither the servers, the host/hostess, the chefs, nor the manager are babysitters and, if you expect them to be, that costs extra plus a few liability waivers.
As for a business of my own...every city needs a decent theatre scene. And mine would be like the Denver Center: 5 theatres all within spitting distance of each other, each one specializing in a different form of stage performance. There would be an afternoon matinee on weekends, as well as evening shows. Certain shows, depending on their level of violence, strong language, etc, would not be available at the mostly-for-parents-to-bring-their-kids matinees. Thus, if someone wants to see something like Avenue Q, Full Monty, or Rent, they'd have to come to the evening show and leave the kidlets at home. Besides, from my experience the evening shows tend to let out way past bedtime for most kiddies.
We also need a drugstore to have cheap perscriptions and some other stuff that you can get. Cashiers are always willing to help. And the lines never stay long. And its closed through the holidays. If its a total emergency, the hospital should have at least enough for a days worth of perscriptions.
I'd be glad to host a jewelry/craft shop. Get some classes going, and share the space with some other CS artists! And if anyone decides to whine about the prices, we'll be glad to tell them where to stick it. Maybe hold some contests every once in a while to get publicity as well, or even an arts festival.
My only regret is that I don't have a better word for "F@#k You".
"Treasure's Cottage" - an old fashioned homeopathic-apothecary
All herbs/flowers/plants etc will be grown on-site and gathered according to proper moon cycles for best benefit, to be made into tinctures, teas, "potions", poultices, ointments etc.
also a bit of an "odd & ends" type shop -with things such as incense, candles, seedlings, items for blessing one's home.
I would also live above the store; there will be a staircase that is hidden behind a "closet" door that leads to my private home.

We could run for office, we'd be great pun-dits.

iether a swedish resturant or a game store, though the resturant is really starting to sound temting, hmmm, might have to find a way to combine the two

I'll be on the committee for those.
And I am so totally running the local art gallery. Free admission and all.
