Post by: Berry Sweet on June 28, 2018, 05:10:55 PM
The Kid is excited. So am I actually.  She finally very independent and will be able to much for herself this summer break!  I'm so glad!  



Better weather can come soon! These clouds are yucky.  Can't wait for the summer holidays I have planned for family time and the kid!

It's different in every  province, but it's usually the end of June.

Some  public schools in my  province have a modified school year where they go back  in mid August I believe.

This is good.



My first job (other than delivering newspapers at age 12) was at a pizza joint.  Didn't pay much, but you do learn customer service and how a small business works!

Non-White families are much more likely to do this...  It is very common for me to see Asian and East Indian small business owners bringing their kids in to work around the business.



I wish more White families did this...  Mine never did.

There's not a lot of money in operating c stores. Having the family share the workload is essential for survival.

I know!  The profit margins are razor thin.



Even with my business, the margins are so slim that one large repair can bring the business into a loss for the tax year...

You got that right.

Wal Mart can run at a 2% profit margin, only because of volume.  A small business at 2% is a whole different story!
