I wonder why nobody has thought of putting a billiards bar next to the auto shop?

I have read a discussion about men not being as patient as women when waiting for a car repair at an auto shop and I figured I would start a discussion about putting in either or both of these: 1. Coffee shop, with pool tables. 2. Wet Bar, with pool tables. 3. Pool hall either in house or just next door. The many places I have visited lack either a place to play pool while the other half is shopping til their dropping, or a coffee shop to sip on refills until the day is done while the my better half is making a b-line to the discounted items. The only stores I know that provide some recreation while waiting are Target with their in-store Starbucks, Walmart with their in-store McDonalds, Barnes & Noble Book Store with an in-store Starbucks, but none of these have a wet bar or a pool bar. I would like to see if anyone around myLot has been to any kind of mechanics shop or laundry mat or store that has either a pool room for playing billiards and have a drink or a dry pool hall that serves only non-alcoholic beverages and snacks or just a place to play some pool while waiting for a few hours while the mechanic tries to find ways to charge you more money or the wife does her shopping and you can mellow out doing what you like to do best, that is, lounge around or play pool and such. I am not referring to a Casino which has probably more pool tables, lounges and wet bars than any place under one roof. I don't gamble so I wouldn't want to go there.

This is only a good idea if you are single. I am married and I don't frequent even a bar any more. But back in the day, I was more daring and paid for it in wasted dollars.

Oh, the heck with it! Just put a Blues bar complete with a billiards table and a Darts board near every store where your wives might want you to be.

There are coffee shops now everywhere. Even a toddler can get out of school nowadays and buy a coffee. Noone would mind and they have the money

I am looking for one that has a pool table. Still I think children are too young to drink coffee. I don't know exactly what the age limit is for children under 13 as far as drinking energy drinks in stores or coffee at coffee shops. They sell enough soda pop and soft drinks like Dr. Pepper and Pepsi and Cola have plenty of caffeine.

a lot of the store you name may not have a pool table but most have free Wi-Fi so if you have your computer you can down load a youtube sport show and watch some old sports game or some tv show. if you have money making sites go to thes

Yea. But it looks like billiards has become old school, so to speak.
