We close officially, and the bar goes back to a cash bar, you’re welcome to stay, most do for a few more hours
Rules:
1. “No Selling” (You can talk concepts, but not pricing and product names)
2. “No giving your card out” (You can be asked after a yarn)
3. “You can’t ask what someone does til the 3rd question” (Find out about the person first)
We employ the principles of gamification – break the rule, earn the consequence of being walked out with a “Red card” which incurs a 3 event ban.
