Thanks for all of your generous and kind feedback.
I will be making a few adjustments and posting updated photos in a week or so (I'm waiting on a Bricklink order from Europe). The the purpose of the dark red tile on the stand was really just suppose to represent a "Wait Here" / "Line up Here" type of sign post, but I don't have a printed tile for that. I like the idea of a printer or cash register, so I'll have to put some more thought into that detail...
Merry Christmas everyone!
