I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.
People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.
A small strawberry cake I used to buy at local supermarket went from $12 to $25+. Bigger cakes you need a loan. 😛 So fk that.
Surprised the bakery hasn’t offered to break the cake cost into four easy payments with Affirm or Klarna.
