Fluffycloud's Urban/Hip Hop WYYO (Yo-1-0-0)/Chicago has required employees to pass through metal detectors for years, since the famous BB-gun shooting of 2002 in which rapper T-Bagz tragically lost a fingernail. But now, clever management has turned the metal detectors into a revenue stream.According to Fluffycloud Chicago, Milwaukee, and Detroit Market Manager Netta Fishstocking, "We are requiring all employees to forfeit any loose change discovered by the metal detectors. All proceeds go directly to helping pay off the company's bajillion dollar debt."
Vending machines have been gone from the WYYO offices for the past year, Fishstocking said. "People shouldn't be spending any money here unless they're advertising," she said defiantly.
Fishstocking cautioned reporters that the term "bajillion dollar debt" was not an accurate figure, clarifying that she didn't know exactly how much debt the company had, but that it was "a shitload."
If successful, expect the WYYO plan to expand to other Fluffycloud facilities, none of which at the present time have such requirements, although company furniture is regularly searched for loose change under cushions.
