So now that I'm buying small orders of parts and supplies for my wash, I decided to open an account at Sonnys, as they are close and shipping was only one day here in FL. They used to send out a large catalog with everything you needed. Not anymore. There is now a $250 minimum on any order. They explained they now really only cater to conveyor washes. Mind you, I am not busting their chops for this. It's their business and they can run it as they see fit. I will however bust their chops for having to press #1 to speak English when you call them. The times, they are a'changin.
wow, has Sonny's changed

Ha! You've had to press 1 for quite a while.

Most will connect you even if you don't press 1. And anyone that forces me to press 1 gets an ear full about it.
Yes I am quite aware of most of the changes going on. The market was way overbuilt and most of the closed ones were ran by rookies that had no clue how to properly run one. But there is still a market for it. Just don’t build new, know how to set things up and fix it, and you can still do nicely. And with Sonnys if you don’t press one no one answers. I do understand there is a bigger margin selling a conveyor chain than a Flojet.

Just hoping someday we all don’t have to press #2.
