At the range or on your own property is one thing, standing in line at McDonald's with your back to the crowd, wallet in one hand credit card in the other looking down at the credit card machine is something totally different.

I 100% support the right to open carry and think we should be allowed to do it freely. That said, I think if you open carry, you just crave the attention. I've seen a couple arguments here where many of the keyboard commandos argue that they are 100% situationally aware 100% of the time...

I'm not looking for anything to pick at and I'm well aware of the fact that everyone doesn't share the same concerns. I just think you're full of shit and you seem to be oblivious to the fact that there was no argument until you chimed in. I don't believe that every thread posted needs to be...

@oio so what are all these other businesses that you have?

Getting Obama out of office is a good start. The man despises small business like no leader in this country ever has. We need to band together and vote in politicians who understands that small business is the backbone of the economy. So if you're one of those people who thinks the system is...

Ok, then those two employees will qualify for over time. I'm not "worried" either, I will adapt and overcome, but this is just another example of something that does more to complicate and increase the cost of small business and serves no practical or productive purpose. We shouldn't have to...

If you change to commission only, you'll have to pay time and a half. If you pay on profit shares you have to pay time and a half. Why wouldn't I want to pay him time and a half? Because His pay is based on his performance, not the clock. You claim to pay based on profit too, so you're going to...

In Georgia you are only legally allowed to charge storage for 30 days, after which time you have two choices, do nothing or file a lien and sell the vehicle. Usually when they get the certified letter they come pay the bill and the storage and I don't have to pursue it. And I'm usually very...

Yes, I am the owner. The biggest problem I have with this new mandate is that I have a guy who makes $90k-$100k year, but his salary is $600 week. The rest is bonus and incentives based on sales, managing costs and profit. They have included in the mandate that bonuses and other non salary...

In my 18 year career I've run shops in over a dozen different demographics. From dirt poor ghetto south central Atlanta to college towns, to military towns, to beach communities and everything in between. In that time I think I've liened a total of maybe 5 vehicles. If you've had to do that so...

Sounds to me like a happier business owner equals a more successful business owner In Your case. But what do I know, I'm sure those dirt poor bastards in Marietta just wanna give you shit and not pay for their repairs..

In my business I have hourly employees ranging from $9-$18 and salaries ranging from around $40k to about $100k. The problem with artificial inflation through something universal like a huge minimum wage increase is that yes, the guy who made $10 and now makes $15 is better off momentarily, but...

That's how I started doing mine a couple builds ago. It's the only way to go for me now.

I don't do restoration, that's a hobby. I'm in the production paint industry. Starting up is always hard. Done it many times in many markets and won't argue with you on that one. Competition is one of the best things you can have. I've done the best when I'm closest to my competition. My...

One of the biggest mistakes you can make in business sales/marketing is operate based on what you would do or assume that your customer base is going to think like you do.

My guess is used car salesman...

I never said you're "for" those things. You just have "no fucks to give" unless they affect you directly. That's a selfish attitude to have and is extremely destructive. Stupid laws don't get passed just because someone wrote them down on a piece of paper. Stupid laws get passed because of...

That whole "pass all the gun control, taxes and other dumb laws you want as long as they don't affect me directly" attitude is more destructive than the politicians who pen them. So you're a socialist?

I hope the trend will continue and it will become more and more "normal".

It's not gonna change the economy because employers will just work around it. Employers aren't going to just double people's salaries because Obama says so. We're about to see massive numbers of low level managers punching time clocks for an hourly wage. Then Obama is going to be on tv with his...
