Need Sleep? Mall Of America Sells Naps For 70 Cents A Minute

POSTED: 2:26 pm EDT August 26, 2005

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- The Mall of America has a 74-foot Ferris wheel, a shark tank and a dinosaur museum. And now, if all that tires you out, a nap store will sell you some shuteye for 70 cents a minute.

The new store will be called MinneNAPolis. It's just the thing for shoppers -- or their spouses -- who get worn out traversing the more than four miles of storefronts in the Minnesota mall.

Founded by PowerNap Sleep Centers of Boca Raton, Fla., the new store will include at least three themed rooms: Asian Mist, Tropical Isle and Deep Space. Each will have walls thick enough to drown out the sounds of squealing children at the indoor amusement park.

The fee of 70 cents per minute works out to $42 an hour. Some said it would be cheaper to buy an $8 movie ticket and spend two hours sleeping through a movie.

Pointless... completely pointless.

Stupid people and their stupid ideas...

I'd do it just to say I did it.

Read that article in the 'New Ulm Journal' Friday. Paying for sleep, what a rip off.

LMFAO.. why the fuck would you pay someone to let you sleep when u can just do it for free.

Because they are offering comfortable quarters to sleep in inside an enormous mall where someone might not want to shop with their spouse? They'd rather sleep? Yet they have to go? Need a 30 minute powernap during Christmas shopping season? Seems reasonable to me.






What a fucking stupid idea.

You know whythis is being done? For all the obese people who need to sit down every five minutes. No offence, but there are becoming a hell of a lot more of them, it's a huge problem.

This is going to lead to more lazyness. Fucking dispicable.

Actually... You make a good point.

Fucking fatasses can't even walk around in a mall... Jesus christ.



MAYBE WE SHOULD PURGE THEM.

Which is why shopping aracdes have benches all down the middle of the placey bit with the shops on either side.

And why would you go to a shopping arcade just to sleep? Wouldn't it be a more sensible idea to sleep in the car...or stay at home?

Here's a radical idea - online shopping.

I've been to that place. Pretty fucking cool.

Pretty retarded idea though. Too costly.

it sounds good for the person who is to lazy to walk the extra ten minutes to their car. I personally wouldnt be at the mall, but its an idea for the store to make more money. They are just milking the american population cause a good portion of us are fat as shit. Those people need those 10 min power rests just because their legs cant take the load that they put on them. Here is an idea, workout so u dont get tired.

I work in a kiosk in a local mall and I saw the saddest thing ever......

No, it wasnt mall walkers.......


It was a fatass lady riding a segway in workout clothes.......she even had a fucking sweatband on her head! I was like :rolleyes:

hahahaha i would have pointed and laughed. Then i would have ran around her with a chicken wing and see her stomp after me

Obesity is a major problem in America. It's just gross.

It is predicted that by 2044 every child in the US will be considered obese and by 2058 the adults will have followed suit.

LMFAO good point.. it all seems very clear now

I ain't going to let my kids become porkers. No McDonalds for them.

McDonalds is disguisting and it is amongst the worst fast food you can eat. I bet most of you have seen the film Super Size Me haven't you? That should be shown to every kid in grade 2, certainly they wouldn't want "Mikky(sp-you get my idea) D's" anymore.

I'll eat fast food from tim to time, but it's pretty much always been A&W which isn't nearly as bad(my mom used to work at an A&W when she was a teenager, so we know it's not as bad) or just a slice of pizza.

Fat people bring it upon themselves, they do not deserve the right to sue a fast food restaurant becasue quote unquote it made them fat. It was there decision, n ow they do not need a bed in a mall so they can have a nap after they eat three combo meals at the malls food court.

That's a film I want to see.

Isn't it "Maccy D's", or is that the English version...

As for fat people, some people may have a shite metabolism and could eat celery all day long yet still get fat, whilst other people could stuff their faces with 150 cheescakes and actually lose weight.

Regardless of what they eat, the ones with a shite metabolism will still become fat.

People who have made themselves fat have sued?! That should be illegal!

Mickey D's?

No, Maccy D's.

Do the girls come included if I choose asian mist?
^________^

Aww, that's what it is, the spelling just never came to mind. Thanks.

Well, I was talking about the people who bring it on themselves. Yes I have heard something along the lines of people sueing McDonalds because their food made them fat.

Can't remember where though, may have been the film itself.

My manager and I were talking and were wondering how long it would take for your arteries to clog if you ate a Monster Burger a day. That's 2/3 lb. of angus beef, 2 large peices of American cheese, 4 slices of bacon, and 3/8 oz. mayo on each side bun.

As for fast food, I don't normally eat it. If I'm desperately hungry, and I mean desperately, I'll grab something from McDonald's. Normally it's Taco Bell or Subway (not really fast food). When eating at Hardee's, the breakfast kicks so much ass. So does the roast beef; everything else is fatty/greasy shit.

Agreed.
Remember that "work out" thread at the beginning of the summer? How I said i wanted to lose weight, well I did but thats besies the point.

I dont usually EVER eat fast food. I think this whole summer when i ate fast food, it was when i was high(2-3 times this whole summer after a party or something id buy like 4 chesburgers andpig out)

I think this idea is retarted.

Thats impossible. No matter how many fat kids there are, there will always be some who are making a consious effort to stay fit.

Yeah I agree, that's pretty much bullshit. I know I'll have kids then if all goes well, and I know they won't be fat.

You expect to have kids in 2044? You do realize that's nearly 40 years from now, right? Surely you don't expect to have kids in your late 50's.

Whatever you say, Brit. Smells like bullshit to me.

Bob, pretty sure he was implying that he will have kids before the year 2044.

It's from an American site, and was predicted by American scientists in some American journal. Being British doesn't even begin to come into it.

As I said before... its impossible.

Ya, but having kids before then is completely different than having kids then when you're talking about certain age groups.

Bring me.... TEH LINK!!11

Taco Tuesday kicks ass. So do choco tacos. W00T Taco Johns.

Yea a fat women did it a few years ago and won millions. She then went on to not only buy a fast food joint but a Jenny Craig, which has now closed.

To defeat the fast food joints, u just dont order the fried stuff. I mean no fries, burgers or crispy chicken sandwhiches. You can order grilled chicken or the salads that they now offer. The best fast food places are taco bell, subway and i think wendys. I say Wendys cause u can order alot of things and not have them fried. U can get the chili which is great for u, the grilled chicken sandwhich with a side salad.

But as long as u work out, ull never have to really worry about what u eat and u can livea normal life

Drum roll please...

I had to reword it an itty bitty bit as I used it in my last piece of english coursework.

How is this "defeating" them? Their goal is to make $$$ not get their costumers fat... That is just a side effect of the consumers poor choices and laziness. If the masses chose to be slim then all the fast food chains would be pushing salads instead of burgers. I gave up fast food a year and a half ago (I still go to Arbys for salads and wraps sometimes) as part of my get in shape plan and I have lost 59 pounds without really doing anything else besides my normal workouts. That shit is poison!

You don't think McDonald's business plan is:

Make teh l0z3rs as fat as possible so they eat more and we can pwn them forever.

I'm sure in 50 years they'll have gene therapy and there won't be any more fat people.

Regardless, who cares if people are fat? Arguing about about what people eat is like arguing about people's sexual orientation. Only stupid people do it because they're common subjects and that's all they can comprehend. Oh hoho, what's next, an argument about cars?

Or Republicans!?
