Bernard strolls out of the Staff Wing, a fairly large piece of parchment in hand.
He tacks it to the announcement board, gets a bottle of tequila and a shot glass, and settles at the usual table.
The sign reads:
Attention:
Lest we all forget, in addition to serving as a flop house, war zone, and occasional dating service, Milliways Bar is a place of business. As of one month from today, all tabs must be either settled, or settled partially, in the currency of your choice and preference. Refer to the tab board behind Bar in order to assess your debt.
We here at Milliways understand the burden of both being Bound, and of financial hardship. But this is, as aforementioned, a place of business.
A fund for the Bound was set up last year in honor of Joe Manco, and is under the stewardship of Snow White. You may apply to her for aid.
Also, speak to your friends, who may be more well-off than you are. That's what friends are for.
Finally, we appreciate your business. It would be nice if tabs could run up indefinitely. But Bar is not comfortable with that, and neither are we.
Thank you.
--Mgmt.
