Self Employed

If I had a notion to operate my own business, I'd seriously consider opening a liquor store in a train station.  If the liquor store at Union Station is any indication, it's a sure way to get rich.  I've noticed that especially on Fridays there is an endless line of customers stocking up on their favorite adult beverage for the evening commute.  And, I admit, I have contributed to the owner's retirement fund myself, occasionally purchasing a nice Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay for the evening ride.  The clerks are always helpful, suggesting options and adding plastic glasses to your bag so you can share your purchase with a friend, which isn't surprising since that's a great way to get repeat business.  I'll have to keep that in mind, if I actually do decide to seek self employment.
