Such a bad idea. What about the employees of the landlord?

you would have to have a discussion with him but you need to protect your business and employees

It sounds like many of this generation aren't taking this too seriously.

Oh it wouldn't. I didn't say I thought it would, just that I'd be fine if it did.
