You should totally knock on the door tell them they need to turn it down because you are trying to masturbate to their sex noises. Last time they have sex in the apartment together ever.

Sounds like a pretty good spot for you considering your industry. I have just the opposite problem. I just got done crunching the numbers and between increasing minimum wage (WA is highest in the nation), increasing L&I and unemployment insurance (despite zero claims in either department from...

I put 20% down on a 300k house at 27 /shrug. My buddy who is the same age is on his second FHA loan for about the same price. I"ll be showing how much more my buddy will end up paying over me to my kids when they enter the work force as a lesson for why setting aside as little at 10% of each pay...

Yeah, you can use the fact you can have a really fast closing to negotiate a little some, but unless the buyer is in a hurry to sell it won"t make a difference to them whether you are paying via cash or a loan.

Second this. Totally worth it.

Well after all of that, are your ungrateful buddies in Gutter at least stoked to get the opening gig they wanted?

I have mixed emotions about the results of all this. I think Gutter is going to end up getting the nod which means technically we pulled through. Despite the lols (which were epic) I am worried about what transpired here resulting in us not getting tits in the future though...

Ah okay then

Really?

I know that I"m preaching to the choir here, but why should they care about where the votes are coming from? It"s generating publicity for both their radio station and whatever the hell the main band is that this whole contest is for. Both of them should be ecstatic about this and should...

Somebody should try and get in contact with the Hawthorn Heights or whatever band and let them know the radio station is fucking up their contest and making them look bad.

Hmmm, interesting, my interpretation of the Titcon Payment Rules was that we"d make every effort to try and win the contest for he who provided proper payment. This is why we need a Tit Commissioner and/or a Special Tit Committee.

Ya, as far as I am concerned the contract is still for Gutter to win. Our contract is with mbix59, not with Gutter and he who provided payment still wants us to vote for Gutter, even if Gutter "doesn"t want us to." I thought we were just pumping up UF to piss off 7FB and it was just pro-bono...

Ya, that was dumb, we were trying to hide where we are coming from

First one to Titcon 5 (or 1 I can never remember which way the scale goes) wins?

Ya, I was going to request a jump up on the titcon scale for FB likes, but now I think we should just do it to piss off those whiny bitches.

Is that really one of the bands involved?

So are your friends going to be pissed that like all the local bands involved in this contest are going to hate them now?

Yup, I think adding subjective opinions as to the quality of tits as a precursor to votes would be a dangerous president to set. On top of sharp-knee-syndrome derailing every "tits for votes" thread into a flame war, it may discourage girls from participating. Rules were followed, my vote has...

I just had to quote this because at least in WA, this so much the opposite of the truth it"s funny. All the FLAM"s (fucking liberal arts majors) around here are basically convinced that small business owners are made of money and we spend most of our days swimming in our money vaults. Our...

No small business owner ever just "sits in his mansion raking in the money." Even if they aren"t in the store managing the day-to-day operations they are working out of an office full time taking care of all the back end stuff necessary in order for the business to run. I have 2 locations, I do...

Hopefully you can get to a point where you are not involved in the day-to-day management of your locations and you have more than one. So your "40 hours a week" job is basically taking care of all the book-work for several locations. Can take years to get to that point though.

I try not to get to caught up in the daily/weekly sales trends at my places. I look at same month comps to get an idea of where I am at (August this year compared to August last year). Something like a really nice sunny weekend can kill sales for me so comparing on a daily/weekly basis usually...

Supposedly the power of being part of a franchise is that your combined buying power of all the franchisees is supposed to result inlowerproduct costs, not higher. However, it is not uncommon for the franchise to negotiate kickbacks from vendors for themselves that hurt the franchisees. The %...

I think the biggest hurdle you will probably have is overcoming the net-worth requirements. I wouldn"t be surprised if they required you to have $1mil + in personal assets just to get in (info isn"t on their website, so could be lower). I also have to say that those franchise fees are brutal...

I"m still going to go with old period blood followed by you stuck it in the wrong hole and apparently she didn"t care (which would be a win for you I guess).

If a company wants to pay you whenever the fuck they want, and your competitor will let them pay whenever the fuck they want, you can"t start trying to charge late fees. Lost interest ? lost accounts.

Also sometimes you"ll end up paying more in unemployment costs/insurance than what the wages of the laid-off employee would have been. If I lay off an employee and they collect just a single day of unemployment before finding another job, my rates go up for the next 3 years. Needless to say any...

It"s not like the radio-station doesn"t also have tape, but the camcorder more shows that you are paying attention. When it comes to a "time stamp" pretty much short of verifying your longitude and latitude and then compare that with the position of the sun in the sky anything can be tampered.

That is a very good thing. If you don"t mind me asking, where abouts are ya located?

Ya, I here ya there. We are more of a "higher end and quality" pizza. When everyone and their mothers are selling $10 large pizzas it"s hard to compete with that. Our franchise tried to match the $10 pizza at their company stores and they lost their ass on the promotion (like we told them they...

With our biggest vendor we get a 1% discount (~$300 a month) if we pay within 30 days of the monthly statement date. In answer to the initial question, I would basically chalk up the practice to being a customer relations move. The more accommodating you are in accepting payments, the more other...

Our franchise did Google (paid search results I believe) and Facebook ads to help promote online ordering. They both had identical offers and during a week we had 56 redemptions from Google and 4 from Facebook. Don"t know if that answers your question other than saying we haven"t had much...

In the wrong, no, a little crotchety, maybe. But I hear ya though. We have these idiots come around selling windows once a month. They drive me crazy and I started putting a note on my door that says "no soliciting" when I see them walking around my neighborhood. But when the girl-scouts come...

For your mailers, have you thought about doing the opposite? Rather than mailing all your customers, exclude your customers from your mailing. We do that with our mailers, doesn"t make much sense to send a coupon to someone who is ordering from us anyways so we only send them to addresses not in...

Definitely not disagreeing with you, having an internet presence is huge, but you do realize companies pay advertising agencies huge amount of dollars to game the Google search results? Depending on the size of area Lyrical serves, it can be tough to get in that "top 3." (btw my top 3 results...

So other than word-of-mouth, what kind of advertising could someone like Lyrical do to get your attention?

That is exactly why I prefaced my post with "our industries are different." Also just because you do your due-diligence doesn"t mean random joe-blow does. I became a home-owner before most people in my circle of friends so when I had to higher a contractor they weren"t much help for providing a...

Obviously our industries our different, but in the Pizza business, we went from doing zero coupon-ing pre recession (around 6% which was mostly instore specials) to heavy coupon-ing (around 10% last month). However we are finally up (same month sales) after 24 straight down months from this...

Yes I have to agree with the poster saying NOT to follow those rules. While I will concede the fact that following the above spoilered credos might get you laid, it won"t build you a relationship. They try to sugar-coat it by claiming you are increasing their arousal and desire for you (great...
