You imagine walking in and finding yourself in a movie--the maitre d' takes your coat and hat and nods toward a corner banquette, and there sits Fred MacMurray, your boss at Acme, stubbing out a Lucky, grinning, and you realize it's all true--you're assistant manager now, you got the big raise, you and Sue and Becky and Little Buddy can move...
