    You joke but people on the Pepsi corporate campus have been fired for coming back from lunch with a McDonalds cup for that very reason.

    Edit: I knew people who worked at the Frito-Lay campus who were called out and written up by management over it. They absolutely cared in upper management. If you weren't eating the company product/drinking the company beverage at home and in private, they cared a lot.

    But on the Frito-Lay and Pepsi offices around Plano... They do not fuck around. I was officed right next to a satellite office and our shared cafeteria was banned from selling Coke products when they moved in. They had a sign posted for us to tell us to not bring outside drinks into their half of the building.

    No, you can actually forbid people from using a competitor's product during work times or on company grounds and it's not uncommon that it is indeed in the contract.

    Think about it like that: If you are walking around with a coke can at Pepsi it doesn't look good for the company and you are essentially advertising a competitor's product while on the clock. Especially in the US that is absolutely enough to fire you.

    Raspberry pi, maybe have 3d printing stations where people bring in there designs and get them printed for a fee.

    For the repairing side, start stocking up on computer hardware along with electronic components to bring in a larger user base.

    Add online ordering to allow people to buy things not normally stocked in brick and mortar and give the option of delivery or pickup.
