Cigarette shirts and how they'll save the corner store

You've surely noticed that powerwalls have been banned in Montreal. Didja know that not only did those cigarette wall displays help sales, but cigarette companies would pay the stores to put them up - they were good for about $5,000 a year to the typical depanneur.

Without ciggy revs and payoffs some corner stores could go broke, which means that you won't have anywhere to buy your eggs when you run out, so you'll starve and die.

So we've got a partial solution that's so obvious that we're surprised it took a superintelligent chimp with a brain implant to think it up. Now that the wall is covered up, the only thing to look at is the cashier. Since your peepers are firmly trained on the person behind the cash... why on earth aren't they wearing something like this?
