I need you to clock out at 11:15pm exactly to avoid going into overtime, otherwise you will be terminated immediately.

However, you are not to leave until the closing checklist is complete, or you will be terminated immediately.

Anyway I'm taking another 9 days off because jesus this was rough. If I had to work this hard a single day more I'd probably kill myself. Anyway be sure to fire anyone who wants more than $10/hr.

I am a ghost




A tale of two businesses owners:

1) Buy a small, local coffee shop. Bust your rear end working six days a week, 12 hours a day trying to make it successful. Build a brand locally, get regular customers. Get attention from the local newspaper. Make yourself the face of the business so the customers deal with you - good or bad. Hire local teenagers as part-time help, pay them what they’re owed, send them home at a pre-set time every shift and finish up closing yourself, because you can’t afford to pay for the extra hours. When a customer makes a horrible mess in the bathroom, insist on cleaning it yourself instead of letting the high schoolers you hired deal with it. Burn yourself out. Hire an accountant to try to see why you always feel behind financially. Get told you’d be better off working at McDonald’s. Sell the business and go be a home inspector.

2) Buy an established coffee shop with a good local reputation. Be an unlikable, greasy poo poo who wears comic book T-shirts every single day. Post on Facebook about how stupid and annoying your customers are. When your post blows up in the local community, double down when the local newspaper asks you about it. Go out of business. :lol:

We need ideas here, people. Nobody is coming to our restaurant any more, and I don't know why. Our menu hasn't changed in 20 years so it can't be that. Let me just post on facebook, get some ideas from the people.

"WE HAVE STRUGGLED SO MUCH IN THE LAST YEAR DUE TO THE INSANE POLICIES OF OUR TYRANT GOVERNOR!!! Now we are back open but nobody wants to come out to eat. What are we doing wrong? We are a small business and I will not be cancelled by the outrage mob online just because I have spoken MY MIND about the DISASTER that this country is turning into thanks to the Socialist-Marxists. So please, leave CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS in the comments. I will delete any comments that attack me or my business. I worked hard for this place and will not see it destroyed by the "Woke" crowd!"

Okay guys I think we're gonna turn this place around, just gotta wait for the comments to come rolling in!

In honor of summer let us celebrate Small Business Tyrant: Beach Town Edition*

-Mediocre restaurant that's insanely overpriced but there's always a 1+ hour wait to get in because its "a tradition" to get dinner there every year for tons of people. The marketing suggests that the owner is a fun, happy-go-lucky guy but you never actually see him. Please don't read too much into why all the waitresses are under 21 years old and all have the same general physical features!

-Said restaurant place has $30+ t-shirts with some dumb/borderline offensive slogan. The shirt will never be worn and is doomed to show up in a Goodwill five years later

-The ice cream shop (I'm sorry, "scoop shop") with the flavors written out by hand on a white board. There's always a line out the door and it's staffed by two 16-year-old girls have clearly been tearing up all day from being yelled at by dickhead families

-The t-shirt shop! The 70-year-old Portuguese woman who owns the place is eyeing you down the whole time thinking you are going to steal something. Her middle-aged son is a doughy weasel of a man whose inner self-hatred is expressed through his love of Trump

A fun way to know the socioeconomic class of the tourists: If the t-shirts have pop culture figures wearing Supreme or MAGA hats while doing offensive things, you're partying with working-class stiffs who want to feel like a Somebody for a long weekend every year (or the full week, if you're part of a blue-collar dynasty of roofing or landscape company owners).

But if the store is full of $60 pastel crewneck sweatshirts with the town's name on them? You're in well-to-do white-collar rear end in a top hat world, baby. It's pretty much the same as the working-class towns but the restaurants have craft beer and a wine list.

*These are based on the East Coast shore cultures of Cape Cod, the Hamptons, and the New Jersey Shore. I'm sure beaches in other parts of the country have their own things and I would love to hear them

Lol me too. My family would rent one floor of a house every year for 20 years. As an adult, almost all my birthday presents from my mom were end of season branded junk from lbi because my birthday was a few weeks after their week.

Unfortunately the guy that rented it out sold the house last year and it got knocked down for some multi million dollar vacation home

At this business we're a family and we look out for each other. No, I don't see what the problem is paying you under the legal requirement? Look, even though my wife and I are in charge of everyone's pay and we don't give people copies of papers if we can avoid it I don't see how us paying you legally is our responsibility. I think if you wanted your actual pay then you should have paid more attention to the nitty gritty of contract law instead of focusing on your job.

Why are you demanding a few grand in backpay for half a decade of work? You're ruining us, if we go out of business it is all your fault. This was clearly your plan all along! To trick us into paying you too little so you could work a lovely job for half a decade, all for the payoff of slightly less than three grand.

You evil, scheming bastards. Rest assured that I will no longer try to treat employees like family.
