Would anyone think things like this happens! I keep thinking I need to write a book about it but I don't think anyone would belive it.

I will try to. I lost my login & just found it again! See you in Vegas!

You are right IB - this is my old wash. They are 30 + year Mark VII vaults. We talked to Dan tonight and I told him if anyone knows what to do you guys would help! Miss you guys - you are the best!

I have know you for too many years.

wrap it around the middle one with a rubber band.

Thought I would share something that we have been doing. We had been having a lot of difficult customers and my employees were having a hard time dealing with them. We had a meeting and one of my guys said damn they just need a lollipop. Well, I got some and it really has helped. They give...

Unless your credit processing fees are really low or you have a high volume was that uses a lot of credit cards I wouldn't do credit cards but I am cheap. Bill acceptors account for about 50% of my fragramatic vac income. The older I get, the better I like hauling cash vs hauling coins. I am...

I received a call from a daughter of one of my customers (her Mom didn't speak English). She told me her Mother had been had at my car wash & was "exposed" to a guy "exposing" himself. I got it on my camera system - not something fun to look at. However, she just called me back & told me the...
