income disparity is just ridiculously bad atm. the term rich get richer, poor get poorer is true by design...
when 20% of the people own over 80% of the wealth, there's a problem.

While much of this is true there is no need for the victim mentality. Changing your business model and financial strategy to fit the current shifts is something available to everyone, at little cost.Originally posted by Ghenghis Kahn
There will be trouble when the shit house comes down but don't act like a victim when it happens, be prepared for the inevitable.
And stop misleading the SBR Forum by claiming you are concerned for them, then proceed to steer them wrong.
It's not necessary and hurts the credibility of SBR.Comment -

Mo one of your fellow Canadians burnt one of my stores. He bought 175 dollar with merchandise and did a charge back on us. Unfortunately we didn't have the chip reader on CCs at the time and he was using one, so there was no recourse. We even had a signature and video, nothing we could do. Ultimately he knew what he was doing. We even had to cover the exchange rate., lol.Originally posted by MoMoneyMoVaughn

Also, there was some info from California, I believe, and they found that the newly loaded EBT cards were used to take out cash in places like Vegas, Disneyland, and even DisneyWorld, in Florida.

We have people come into our shop all of the time with $500 and $1000 deductibles that expect us to help cover it because they don't have the money. They don't understand if there is only $800 labor to make on a wreck, we can't go in the hole helping them. They just end up spending the insurance check on other shit and driving around in a smashed up car.Comment -
Let me get this right Kermit.....people who know and got a Insurance policy with a 500 or 1000 deductible come to your shop when they have a wreck and ask you to cover the deductibleOriginally posted by Kermit
