Zynga's Q&A: #8 Turn Boosts On or Off

#8 on the list:

8. Why can’t I save my boosts for when I really want to use them?

The new fighting system introduced the ability to enable and disable the use of boosts in each fight. While this does not let you pick and choose specifically which boosts you use and when, we did want to get the basic functionality out, and we will be making improvements in the future.
Please share your feedback regarding Boosts.

This has been partially addressed already in both the old and new fight systems with the introduction of the on/off option for fight boosts.  Although from what I understand, there have been issues with the boosts.

In the Getsatisfaction.com thread about the issue, the suggestion is made to add this functionality to robbing, as well. For that matter, why to energy and cash boosts when doing jobs? Visit the thread and say what you think.
