It is a great place to store a monster for a free turn set, depending on your free turn resources.
I usually hold an astronomer in mine to set up my putty/rain doh/camera/ice sculpture turns for robotender drinks with free kills(shattering punch, chest x rays and mob hit), since there is no meat to be made from an instakill fight really. Er, if one has a robortender.
Anywhere from a couple bottles of anis to half a doxen on a lucky day.
I am not good at the game though, so there are probably better uses. I have over 1000 single entendre drinks in my inventory because I keep forgetting to put some in the mall, it definitely works well for me.
No robort, then keep something in there to digitize. No terminal? Keep something in there to run those pocket professor free turns. Monsters that are not meat droppers, but hold something worthwhile.
What is the most expensive consumable you use each day that is a conventional monster drop? Fight that one, or a couple with a camera use, or again, putty or similar, if you have it.
