Trend: Stress Management - take it out on our staff!


Not entirely what ot make of this until I've had more coffee...

But seems like the newest thing out of China is "Anger Management" bars where people can smash things up and abuse the staff. Indeed they are enocuraged to do so. One has to hope the staff are making good coin on this deal, though it sounds no worse than what I've seen in social security offices and certain big box stores on saturday mornings.

More evidence of extremism and polarity helping us stay sane in our daily lives?

Or just the whole world turning into a British pub on a Friday night?

From BBC News:-

Chinese 'anger bar' is a big hit

Customers can release anger caused by the problems of daily life
A bar in eastern China has come up with a novel way of attracting clients - they are allowed to beat up the staff.
The Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing lets customers smash glasses, rant and even hit specially trained workers, state media reported.

I think It is a very good suggestion. If you take it out in our staff we are going to live happy and very relax.
