Lopez: So you have night watchmen? I don't understand. How would you address that? Ichikawa: I think as long as we're in operation... Lopez: You'll tell them? Ichikawa: Right. And we will ensure that they won't be there as they're closing up the shop. Lopez: Is there any thought about talking with these people and explaining how you would operate to help to ease their concerns? Is there any consideration there? Peyton: Yes. I don't know if we've discussed it at this point, but we'd certainly be open to it. With our properties... Lopez: But you'd take the initiative, right? Peyton: Sure. What we typically do with our properties, even after the stores close for business, of course we have the store alarm itself, and that helps us sometimes if people are banging on the door or shaking the door, things of that nature, that alerts it to us. We also keep our properties well -lit throughout, 24 hours a day, in an effort to avoid loiterers, people from sleeping on the property, things of that nature. We are actually in the process of upgrading all of our camera systems throughout the company, in part to help us with things of that nature, where we'll have a better view of the property, where we can access it remotely 24 hours a day. So that project's a little ways out, but those are a part of our thought process in terms of helping to control the environment and making sure we're protecting our property and the community. Lopez: Thank you for that. I'II just close by saying that being good neighbors obviously, think you know the size of that. The information you just gave about the lighting and security cameras, these folks are (inaudible), talk to them about it, this is your plan. Then (inaudible). Peyton: Sure. Lopez: Thank you. Taniguchi: Mr. Greenwell? Greenwell: Is there any signage on the property to tell people that there's no drinking on the premises so that if there's any enforcement you have a way to fall back and say that we can sell liquor but no drinking on the property? Is there any kind of signage? Peyton: There's nothing visible posted that says no drinking. We could certainly include that. We obviously have no smoking signs everywhere due to the nature of the business, so we can certainly include some type of "no alcohol consumption on the property" as well.
