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.
That must be extremely frustrating. Really unfair to shop owners that it’s not prosecuted more aggressively. I do think that word has gotten around that employees are dissuaded from intervening when someone steals, which compounds the problem.
What do you think would be a successful solution?
