for real my man you should like go camp out in dunks during morning rush and see how they run poo poo

also like when people suggest a business plan, it's because all of those overhead numbers are knowable and estimate-able rather than just saying idk 150 bones

#1 - Did you buy yourself that (honestly pretty rad) avatar, or did someone get it for you?

EnPsy is another term for human factors stuff. It’s legitimate.

most of those people who run like sole proprietor retail/food service joints are very good about posting (bookended) revenue numbers and terrible about understanding and managing costs

like ok you pull in 3k a day do you pull in (charitably, 250 open days) 750,000 a year in rev? no? hmmm :thunk:
