And the >company, of course, gets to tout this wonderful perk without having to >invest much in it. > >You might want to think about making an arrangement with large local >businesses on your own. It's a money saver for them and - if the >businesses aren't huge - no particular strain on you. > >This reminds me that I really ought to offer it to some other large >businesses around here.
