carry on then posted:you can tell how many goons live alone by how often “stay home if you’re even a little bit sniffly” gets repeated. people are going to work sick because they don’t want to risk the health of their loved ones Your loved ones are going to be in close proximity regardless, don't go around exposing additional people because you want to be a big man and tough it out in front of everyone. Especially if you're in a customer facing role, and extra especially if you're touching those people or their food. That's unfortunately not financially possible for everyone, but if you're lucky enough to have a job with a decent sick leave policy just stay home.

Yond Cassius posted:This is a perennial favorite over in BFC's Bad With Money thread, but it might be a new link here. God this article always loving kills me with what an oblivious knob the guy is: quote:With a successful summer behind us, I decided to close the Beech Tree for the last week of August to give everyone a vacation, and to spend time with my neglected wife and kids. In those seven days that we were closed, supplier cheques continued to clear and salaried staff continued to get paid, but nothing came in to replace that money. I mean I don't have any illusions that I'd be able to open a successful restaurant, but what kind of idiot decides to close a restaurant for a week for no loving reason??!

AITA for telling my GFs Son he has to go to college to live with me?quote:I've been with Hannah for 3 years. Last year she got evicted and had to move in with me, along with her son Tron who was 16 at the time. My house is my greatest asset. I bought it during the recession for a very good price, and I've put a lot of time, money, and effort into making it a nice home so the value has doubled in the past 10 years. Hannah is a very caring person, but she has had some parenting issues with Tron. He hated school so he never went. He's been kicked out of multiple schools for truancy, fighting, you name it. I sat them both down at the time and laid out my rules before allowing them to move in. Respect my house, contribute to our home. If either of them broke those rules they had to leave. For Tron, the "contribution" is simply get passing grades, and do some minor chores. I told him if you choose not to go to school, I wouldn't be up your rear end about it, but you're getting out of my house every school day at 8am and you need to pass your classes. Its been rough trying to help parent him because of Hannah's reluctance, so I dont overstep the boundaries she has created, but I also do not let him overstep the boundaries I have created for living in my house. This one is special to me, because my wife and I took in her kid brother who has done gently caress-all with his life in the year since he moved in. Somehow Tron is even more motivated than him.

Fitzy Fitz posted:AITA for telling my GFs Son he has to go to college to live with me? I'm kinda torn on this one. He's not doing nothing - he's got something going. It doesn't sound like something that has a clear career path, but making him take random gen-ed and business classes at the local CC doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than keep him busy and checking a box. Charging a below-market Kid Rent and putting it aside maybe without telling him, so you can bust it out when his life does come into a bit more focus) is a good idea. He seems like the kind of guy who ends up doing well in sales for some company down the road.

He gave Tron three options: stay and keep selling shoes & partying, but pay rent go to college and pay discounted rent (plus you get it back when you graduate) move out, the world is your oyster This seems very fair!

Fitzy Fitz posted:He gave Tron three options:  He didn't leave the kid without any options, just ones he & his poss-poor mom don't want to accept. If neither of them like the idea of rent, they could always go with a fourth option - move out together & share a place if they don't want to help with the OP's expenses while living with him.

My [28M] boyfriend slept with his best friend LITERALLY RIGHT after he broke up with me [26F]. Did I make a mistake by getting back with him?quote:My boyfriend and I were in a 3 year serious long term relationship, bought a house bought and got pets. We were ready for the long haul. However, last year I found out that he'd had strong feelings for his best friend when they went travelling, that apparently went away when we got together. We were already going through a rough patch, I'll admit mostly due to arguments started by me being really moody and overly sensitive. He'd told me it was like walking on eggshells once a month and a dealbreaker for him unless I made efforts to heal this part of myself. Finding out about his feelings towards his best friend make me even more insecure and we had many fights about it with him saying it was a non-issue and no feelings remained. I really put in the effort to work on my emotional issues and put this all behind me, and thought we were good.

But I'm assuming these are older, established places, not some guy who hasn't turned a profit yet. Also, in some countries/areas it's tradition for basically everyone to go on vacation in August. Don't live in a tourist spot, nobody's going to be around to go to your restaurant, no reason to have it open.

In touristy places plenty of restaurants get away with shutting down for a month or three in the off-season, but there's a big difference between doing that and randomly knocking off for a week in a busy metro area.

He had bought them the day before, for seven hundred and fifty dollars, at the SoHo sneaker store Stadium Goods.

He just needs to pay rent or move out, because he's currently living in his mom's boyfriend's house.

Ya, happens all the time during public holiday season in europe, often for several weeks or up to a month. Closing shop and taking a longer vacation during the slowest business period of the year probably costs you a few potential customers, but it kind of evens out if you're gonna be operating at a loss anyway- you might as well save yourself some operational costs and give people their due time off years ago I worked with a sushi place that had mostly Japanese chefs, and it closed for a month+ every year so that the employees could go back home for a bit. This joint was massively popular, which probably made everything a lot easier

There's another good article I read a while back from some guy who started a meal delivery startup in Toronto, which also went bankrupt, and he struggled tremendously because he had to learn things like "it's not legal to sell food prepared in your home, you have to have a commercial kitchen" and "restaurants don't have the chef rent a car and go to the grocery store three times a week, they arrange deals with food suppliers" on the job Just amazingly clueless people

Oh man did this one make my eye twitch... Partner [26M] broke things off as I'm sexist [26M] for desiring a long term partner with a lower "body count" quote:So.... there are points from her perspective for sure. After the painful end of my engagement (6.5 years) I went on a mad spree of sleeping around. It was shallow, selfish, I felt cheap and I struggled mentally with what I was doing. I've had over 30 partners now and she has had only 5. I told her that I appreciate that about her and she called it out as me being a sexist hypocrite.. He's just being true to himself guys. You can't blame someone for being true to themselves!

Last week of August too. End of Summer vacations, start of a new college year when folks are looking for places to hang out with new friends and finding their "best place in town like oh my God you guys", it's going to depend on the area but I'm a bit surprised that would be a slow season.
