City of Seattle may ban microwave popcorn
OK, so I'm thinking perhaps the solution might be smarter employees?
SEATTLE – First, Washington State banned indoor public smoking.
Now, the City of Seattle may ban employees from making microwave popcorn.
No kidding.
A memo from the Fleets and Facilities Department addressed to "Employees at Civic Center Buildings" says there has been several evacuations in recent years due smoke alarms being tripped by burning popcorn.
If your employees aren't smart enough to pop microwave popcorn without setting off fire alarms, it might be time to trade up to a better class of employee. Of course, that would require firing the dumb employees, which isn't exactly a hallmark of most government entities.
So...I guess banning the popcorn, it is!
