Was at Caputos. 12 pack of Coke cans is $7
$9 for a case
Walmart may be a couple dollars less but these ongoing food price increases are past the point of being retarded.
Good thing we are all making more money than in 2020, 19, 18, etc...
More than you can afford, pal.Projected YTD?
Us as a small business literally have not raised our labor rates in 8yrs maybe? But I have given my guys raises over those 8yrs. So in the end, the company isnt as profitable as it should be. I've actually lowered my re-upholstery costs. Just simply too many companies trying to come in and undercut everyone in our line of work. Its like they dont give a fuck if they break even as long as they get steady work. One of my biggest customers are required to get 3 bids on re-upholstery work. They flat out tell me, you need to be lower or you can revise and come in a little higher. But 90% of the time its, you need to be lower if you want the job.I said it in another thread but small-medium business suck balls at passing revenue increases through to their workforce. Then they complain about staffing woes. Well let's see dickhead, your prices & revenue went up 10% and you're trying to cap wage increases at 3-4%, the fuck do you expect.
Smarter companies are stealing your employees because they're paying them more
It sucks that you're getting squeezed like that in your industry, hopefully the competition that isn't making any money ends up going underUs as a small business literally have not raised our labor rates in 8yrs maybe?

I'll never take a job though if its just to break even unless there is a bigger job to follow that one. Risk vs reward factor just isnt there on those break even jobs. One fucking small thing goes wrong and your losing money, I simply cant wrap my head around how other companies can afford to do it all the time.
Doggy dog world out there!
I can honestly say since I took over in Nov 2016. I have lost money on maybe 4 jobs, and I really pride myself on that. Now remember, I took over with zero training. My boss died of a massive heart attack and it was like, here you go, figure the shit out.

The issue is there is soooo much work out there right now, that it will be a while before that happens. But yes, I sure hope eventually that happens.It sucks that you're getting squeezed like that in your industry, hopefully the competition that isn't making any money ends up going under
Customer emails me earlier, 17 workstations (cubicles) coming from Portland Oregon will arrive at the jobsite in Northbrook on Monday between 10a-12p.
I respond, the job and its in the quote you signed starts at 7am.
She responds, well the driver is leaving tomorrow morning at 9am.
I respond, I will have 8 guys there at 7am, there will be a charge of $60 per man, per hour with a 1 hour minimum beginning at 7am.
No response and I sent that at 2:06pm lmmfao. If it was a good customer I would accommodate, but this is a customer that makes me spend hours on very large quotes often. Then gives me the little bullshit $4k-$6k jobs. Payback time bitch!!!!
