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.
My business etiquette has been suffering as the business dwindles too, I’m not motivated to make small talk with the random passerby and the thousandth person who wants to see everything up close and touch it but in the end ‘has to think about it’.
I feel this.
