RE: You Don’t Get If You Don’t Ask

in #life4 years ago

There is nothing wrong in asking questions and you are right; if you don't ask for something you probably won't get it.
The next time you go out for food and the waitress says, "what would like?" keep your mouth shut and see what you end up getting to eat if anyone thinks my premise is wrong.

Most business owners will do whatever they can in order to be accepted in the community where they are located. They most likely located there for a reason and that generally is to have the support of the locals. So when you mentioned that his clientele were messing the area up he did the right thing in making sure his employees cleaned up after them.

That round about video is funny as hell, make sure you request one with several light poles around it to keep the flying cars down.
Have a good one,

Very true! This particular store's been in the area for almost 25 years but recently added a tobacco shop, selling rolling papers and vapes, and it's attracting a bad element. The trash was getting so bad that it was blowing into the streets and neighboring yards. The owner ended up roping off the lot and not allowing people to park there because people were getting belligerent/confrontational when asked to move. This isn't deterring the drug dealing but it's helped the litter problem. Of course, the police have better things to do than police the neighborhood they were hired to protect and serve.

The video is funny! There were a few of them out there to choose from. I really hope the driver intended to do that and it wasn't an accident/surprise. I'd be willing to bet that alcohol was involved in it one way or another. If you like this kind of thing there's a channel on YouTube called WitFlix that's full of bloopers and things like that. It's my new favorite to help keep my mood light.

Take care Sult!
