Sure, it's 2020 but the internet is really just a fad so I'll just make the minimum of concessions and make it as awkward as possible to actually buy anything from my website. Maybe I'll have a list of products just giving reference numbers with no clue as to what they are, and a separate (badly scanned) price list that you can download separately to try and match the product to the price. Then you have to email me with a list of what you want and I'll send you an invoice at some point later. If I remember. Then if you pay me (paypal? apple pay? never heard of them) I'll send some items. That may or may not be what you wanted. (this was pretty much my actual experience trying to buy some wargaming stuff a while back. When you get away from warhammer etc and into historic/moderns there are some super old school dudes running stores out there) Danger - Octopus! fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Oct 13, 2020 |

We're literally out of money and have to lay off people and my credit is poo poo but I think the solution to all our problems is selling a lovely 3 axis cnc machine to no one (priced too high) and constantly talking about buying a 5 axis machine We're hemorrhaging money left right and centre, but I think it would be cool if we put the garbage cans on a platform with casters and make a little mobile garbage cart thing to solve all our issues Elon Musk is my hero I suggested to Transport Canada that we could put rockets on the outside of a drone in case of emergency landings I am the small business owner.

"Oh no, the big company I work for has laid me off after 20 years!" "Still, I got an ok redundancy package, I guess. How best to use it?" "I know, I'll open a bar! I've spent plenty of time in them, so being on the other side of the counter can't be so hard right? And free drinks if I want them too, ha ha!" *Goes bankrupt*

My business is to teach others how to write grant proposals. We haven’t won money from new proposals in three years. The bank knows this, and knows we also have trouble making payroll. “Why is the bank taking so long to approve my loaaaaan?”

Small buisnesses here are in a highly competitive market (I live in the state with highest % of small buisnesses closing) so we get a lot of wierd poo poo, supposedly from people trying to "stand-out-and-be-unique". There was this sandwich shop that opened that had nintendos to play while you ate. Its actually a kind of cool idea. Few places near me that have pinball and arcades to play while you eat. Not sure what the stereotype about stingy small buisness managers is aboyt, usually its the big corperations that have douchbags at the top and little buisnesses with wierd managers that do poo poo wearing hawiian shirts. And making you uncomfortable if you dont "keep it casual" zaepg fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Oct 14, 2020 |

I once spent six hours searching a bar for the owner's keys with the hostess when he passed out after locking up.

Hey folks, as you know we had a pretty incredible year this past year despite a lot of challenges. So I want to give you an option here, because you deserve a voice in this company. Our first option, which is really fun and cool! I could give you a one-time bonus of $500. You can buy SO MUCH with that, it's really cool. That's a new TV, or maybe you can get a bunch of new videogames. Something cool and crazy, really treat yourself! Or, and I have to legally mention this one even though it totally sucks and is terrible, I could give you each a TINY RAISE. You'd barely notice it AT ALL, you'd go from 8 dollars an hour to 15, and Uncle Sam would take most of it anyway! You know how they like to screw us hard workers over, right? Okay, I know some of you are voting for the raise increase but what part of "it totally sucks" did you not understand here.

Look you could go work at that big name store and make $15/hr being a cog in the system or you could stay here making $10/hr doing some cool poo poo. Not a hard choice when you think about it, huh?

N. Senada posted:Why is this? It’s a universal or lovely small businesses It's the physical representation of hope and joy dying. In other news my lovely former boss texted me to see if I could pick up a few shifts. Because he lost another employee by screaming and getting way too physical. Didn't punch anyone just got way too into someone's face so par for the course really. Apparently he was screaming at a guy for taking vacation days because "someone has to be here" and "yeah you, you're the owner" was not the response he was looking for. I want to let him spin but I need the money so I'm splitting the difference and working exactly two shifts.

StarkRavingMad posted:The last seven restaurants to open up on this corner didn’t last four months, but I’m pretty sure my Italian-Asian fusion bistro is gonna kill it here Okay, look, the Italian-Asian fusion didn't quite catch on in the area as much as we anticipated. But don't worry! We're just going to scale back the menu a bit to eliminate costs and focus our target demographic. From now on, we are a pizza by the slice place. What do you mean, there's six other cheaper pizza by the slice places nearby? Our more upscale entries will make us stand out from the rest. Look, this one has pear and gorganzola cheese on it. Also, everyone is going to have to take a pay cut. Don't worry, we'll get through this.

OK. So the pizza by the slice place didn't work out. We're pivoting to tacos. Let me make a few calls to my money men. "Gam Gam? Can I borrow some money? How much? How much do you have? Great! I'll pay you back in six months."
