There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent - Lao Tzu (Art of War)

Your motivation is to prove them wrong.

Are you close to a big city? Sometimes, it’s worth it to hit up the closest big city for the weekend. Granted, that will limit your weekend, “You can count on me to pick you up” locally, but you’ll have enough volume that you could just count on the weekend and whatever Bonus Pickups you get in town during the week are cream on top? I dunno. My two cents…

Bar/Restaurant here. It’s sink or swim. I’m either slammed busy, or it’s crickets. Had to 86 my GM due to cost cutting, which added about 20 hours extra to my week. Upping prices as needed. (What the fuck with beef prices?) Trying to staff for the busy shifts and mitigate the shitty ones. Closing the kitchen a bit earlier, as they are expensive. Hell, I’ve worked the dishpit to save some dough! Just keep fighting!
