Getting a real bad feeling about the lack of updates. Either ordering volume collapsed and he is ashamed to post, or the owner quit show up altogether. Hopefully the stress did not get to him and he is on a bender in a Motel 6. I hope not, prayers.....

Sorry been swamped..
Getting my ass kicked...I'm takinng a beating...
18 hour days..7 days
Fell asleep in store last night on a couple of boxes of canned souce and a bag of peporoni as a pillow.
Just woke up and drinking coffee.. I got the bunn machine and a case of coffee and hot chocolate..
I don't take cards. Not yet anyway. Most stores don't take cards around here.
Yes I did go on a bender last night. My nerves we're absolutely shot!!!
My bitch can't even come over for a couple of hours to help me. Once I got her here it was so begrundgenly that I told her just to fucken leave a suck Obama dick .. If I have to ask more then once. Its not worth it. Actually I shouldn't have to ask. Help should have been offered..
Hired a Mexican for kitchen and deliveries.. He just walked in. He looks like he is 16 or 17. Straight off the boat. This will be his first job..
I offered him 40$ a day plus's tips.. Got a couple of bikes here .
Does everything I show him to do exavly the way I show him.. I call him Chiquito..
Martino and ii have a good repore and he has a great sense if humor.
Loui shows up 15/20 minutes late every day. No sense of humor but at least comes every day and does his job with no with absolultly no emotion.
He serves his purpose for now.
Martino told me he is always like that and that he is a "pato" he dresses like a woman in bars at night..I know u guys probably don't believe it but its true. There are a ton of gay Mexican cross dressers in the Mexican community I'm told.. Has anyone seen big dick. When he leaves the house with his pumps and wig. Now I know why he comes back speaking Spanish.
So I'm working with 3 Mexicans and I met my Egyptian landlord.. And he told me the last guy was a dickvfor always paying late. I guess he is worried about my rent!!
Egyptian s are m.fuckers.. In there culture they pride themselves of taking uber advantage and double crossing u as much as possible. In the egyption culture there is nonsense of honor or loyalty as we would understand..
I was very short with him to let him know. Let's cct the bullshit.. U aintbdoung anybody no favors nor are u going to. The only thing he has to know is that the rwnr is paid. If u act friendly with them they respect u less"stupid american". If your rough with them they actually respect u more and makes for a healthier relarltionship..
Thanks to hutmaster who pushed me to call cisco. I got a to of supplies coming at a good price and I'm gonna save some time.
I've been dealing with Cisco bfor years but the obviouse and the simplest things seem difficult. I am a little lost in the weeds..
Don't have a new menu yet. That will be done in a couple of days.. About the same time my supplies come.
Right now I'm still working off the old menu..
Business is up. The vibe from the custermers is up butbik still losing in average just under a $100 a day...never mind that I'm living off my debit card.
Going home now to shit/shower/shave. I shouldn't have partied last night..
Spent a lot of money on bad coke and jack Daniels.
The worst part is I did it ALONE..
Its OK. Sometimes a little self destruction is a good cleansing process.. TODAY MY MIND IS MORE FOCUDED AT THE TASKES AT HAND. yesterday I was just so emotionally beat up..
I had some friends come by for free food. I through my bitch out. The only help from my brother was him saying congrats and don't fuck it up.
Oh and i rented the martian... It was a good movie.

Yawning guys came but they tried to overcharge me telling me this and that. So I threw them out.
The bodega next door gave me his guy. So now alibaba or habibi or some rag head in sandles is going to put my owning up..
So now I'm working with 3 Mexicans an Egypttion landlord. And a fucken Yemen yawning company while I'm looking at a grafitti mural that has supreme court justice Soto Meyer and big daddy and Africa bumbatta.

That would be a good thing because I can't hire Americans and compete when everyone else is using Mexicans.
I'm actually being objective here..
Were do we draw the line with outsourcing and importing labor. When all jobs are under 50k./40k ..
Were the wealthy import people from the ends of the earth...
Zuuceeberg fired 3500 tek workers at 60k and replaced them with 40k imports..
Construction jobs are now paying 65$ a day. These same company s were paying $100 a day 20 years ago..
A business yawning with flood lights and my store name.
One individual can't build a taking and fram and put that printed tarp tightly over it and bring the old monstrosity down and install the new one..
O
Wtf? Are u talking about???.. That would be penny wise and dollar foolish..
Some things u need a professional.. Absolutely in this Case.. Throw in white trash as another group I hate.
Brother I'm from n.y.c. I got a screwdriver a hammer and a vise grip.. Shit . I don't be even change a flat..
I always have a can of fix a flat in the trunk tilll i can find one of chicos fix flat places or juans change flat places or habibis tire and rim places with all the tailights and hubcaps hanging off the fence..

If you are doing things on the up and up....no insurance company is going to allow you to have a delivery person under 18. The usual requirements are 18+, possess own vehicle and insurance, licensed for minimum of 1 year, no DUI's, no more than 2 moving violations in past year or 3 in past 2 years.
If you have what sounds like 4 guys working at lunch, you are blowing money. At your volume it should be you and a delivery person. Maybe a 3rd person if you dont want to be stuck in the store.
February 9th is National Pizza Day....plan an event for that day and get some publiciity.
I am telling you, you need to listen to me. First, Monday needs to be "Your first TWO Toppings Free" and Tuesday needs to be "Two for Tuesday" meaning buy two pizzas get two free. You obviously have limited window space so you need to rotate the advertisement signs each day. Make sure you get the signs professionally done and do not hand write them.
Give these two promos a try and it will build momentum. Trust me, I am kind of a marketer.
The guys are off the books...
In new York almost every sole proprietor has half his work force off the books in my hood here. Its all Mexican and Dominican and immigrated Africans that own and work all the shops.. Most if the owners around hear are illegal immigrants themselves..
I know the bikes have to be licensed with plates and the store name. That's actually a new reg here but not enforced..
There are no car deliveries. Its toooo!! Congested and mostly buildings..everything is 5 minutes away. 10 blocked away only takes 5 minutes.
I have Martino and Louie working the front 6 days. And I cover for there days off but don't make pizza.
I got the kid in the back to put away supplies empty the trash shred cheese and teaching him to make doe..Martino isvteaching me to make pizza. Its hardv work..
I understand were ur coming from. I had to do the bike regs for the other store but the mayer GGT blow back from the registration fees etc ext ect..
In Rhode island were I have many relatives and some in business its a different attitude there. All the waiters and dishwashers work for checks..
I've held a dozen server jobs in Manhattan and rarely ever got a check for my hours.
I hire freelancers and the self employed.
As far as national pizza day. I work in the middle of the tower of babel.. 30 different cultures and nobody. Speaks English..
If I make it to next year I will put a poster on the window in different languages stating its national pizza day and have a sale. The store is not ready until I start working off my menu..
Martino makes $600 week for 60 hours and loui makes $400 a week for $60 hours. I asked the kid if he would work 7 and just tell me when he wants a day off and he said he doesn't need a daily off. I use Martino as a translated. He will make appx $65 dayvclean..
All the bodegas the Spanish restaurants the African places never mind the Arab places nobody is on the books and everyone is getting section 8 for there apartments and those tenenants are renting out rooms to immigrants on there free rent never mind all the basements that have 10 Pakistanis renting cots..
