If I tried to call in sick there would be no one there to answer the phone. But luckily with n 8 Bay Self Serve and 3 changers there is some redundancy.

I had two full time employees and my washes were well taken care of in my absence. On the flip side of this, I lost both of them at about the same time. One of them (my sister and bookkeeper) was struck down by a stroke one day and is now permanently disabled. Less than a month later, the other had a health issue that put him out of commission for almost 8 months. I had gone from coasting along, working 30-35 hrs. a week, to 70+ hrs. for the next 8 months. Having no clue how to do the books, I was in a world of hurt. I found someone pretty quickly that said they could help me out part time with them. He didn't work out, so we quickly parted. Luckily, my niece was closing a store that she had for years and came to help out. I ended up hiring her full time and she was a little dynamo, stayed with me until I sold the washes, and with the new owner as well.
