Those office suggestion boxes often found sitting at the receptionist’s desk or in a workplace lounge can be rife with interesting comments...
More than 2,900 hiring managers nationwide shared some of their most memorable requests and recommendations.
Among them:
Allow people to change clothes in their cubicles.
Put beer in the vending machine.
Jail time should be covered under family medical leave.

I work in the Boston area, and I can tell you that most of the women here wearing a bikini would be cruel and unusual punishment for everyone else!
Sounds like where I work!
Bikini Fridays for FR!
I work for a Fortune 100 company. We once had an email go out telling us we could not keep a compost pile in our office drawers. We also had one going out saying that you could not ride your bicycle in the parking lot in your underwear. Both were aimed at the same employee.
I was going to post a photo, but I bet someone beat me to it.
Put beer in the vending machine.
Woo-hoo!
Meow! You ring my Bell!
Bikini Tuesday?
Bikini Friday? You got it. Just give me a minute to change in my cubicle.
My favorite bar/restaurant had a day last summer where the AC died. The place had a boat/nautical theme. Many of the waitresses were college girls in suitable figure, some more exceptional than others. I waved over the manager and said he should declare it "Bikini Top Thursday". He said "Great idea! Wish I'd thought of that!" But by then the AC man had arrived and started to fix the unit.
I also mentioned this to one of the waitresses who said quietly "If they'd let me do it, I'd do it!"
