Because it’s not just cute—it’s logistical chaos.So grab a drink, watch the door (seriously), and join us for a conversation about instincts, intelligence, and why some animals absolutely should not be trusted with customer service.________________________________________What’s on Tap?🐾 What a modern Zootopia-style world would really look like.☕ The worst possible animal baristas—and why they’d still think they’re great.🚪 Which animals become instant menaces the moment they understand doors.🧠 Instinct vs. intelligence: where things go wrong fast.🔥 Which animals would actually thrive—and which would destroy everything.________________________________________Toasts, Topics, & Tangents🔥 Travis imagines the absolute disaster of certain animals in everyday jobs.🔥 Andrea leans into the chaos—some animals would absolutely think they’re killing it.🔥 Ed breaks down how instincts would override logic in a mixed world.🔥 Kevin highlights the thin line between “functioning society” and “total anarchy.”________________________________________Join the Conversation!What animal would be the worst employee—but think they’re amazing?
