That really sucks... Living in a city is a double-edged sword. It's great because you're typically around more densely populated areas than us rural operators. But, you have more costs because you operate around that dense population. I guess the only repercussion you have, if you aren't able to...

I do open carry at night with my Smith and Wesson M&P .40 as we are in a city with a higher crime rate. I don't get as aggressive as you say here, but I do worry that I will run off all my customers eventually. And I'm never aggressive or rude when I approach them. But, I have problems when they...

That's a lot of headache, MJW. Sucks that you, and others, have to deal with this so often. I had another hit and run yesterday. Haven't even settled the last one. This one left the bar next door, drove through bay 6 and then drove off without even slowing down. It was an equipment rental truck...

At the time that I write this, I am the most expensive car wash in a town of about 80,000 population. There are a total of 6 self serve car washes. Feels good... Only a handful of people have mentioned the price increase and nobody has a rebuttal when I tell them that I just spent $3,000.00 on a...

I've thought the exact same thing before I stopped going to Wal-Mart. Those things are amazing, but I'm sure they are extremely expensive.

Recently a guy came to my car wash to pay for a hit and run that he did 4 days earlier. I went to the sheriff's department and they told him to come pay or get indicted. He asks for receipts of what I replaced when he arrives and I told him that I'm not playing these games he can pay or leave...

The Washington Examiner wrote: "More than a quarter of a million people illegally present in the United States were removed from the country in fiscal year 2018, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Approximately half of the 158,000 people arrested by ICE — 80,730 — had been...

Wrote a post and realized it was invalid. I'll be back later to write it properly.

I am considering this right now. I recently removed 2 trash cans and now I have 2 left.

My barriers are DEFINITELY not going anywhere. I was going to have a box built that would fit between them. We have no barriers on the other side and a guy with a trailer did a hit and run and the brick island had to be rebuilt. Luckily, cameras caught him.

I like that a lot. I'll show this to the guys who made our outer door. I'm sure they can make this for me cheaper than the 600 dollar trash can that I linked. My setup is pretty similar, except that the trash can sits between 2 barrier poles that protect our brick vacuum island from being hit...

I would love to read an excerpt, or the whole transcript, of what you said that they considered slanderous. This sounds juicy af.

Would you be willing to post a picture? I have a metal worker that has made my door and some other things. I'm sure he could beat the price on the one I linked. Also, that one I liked it 152 pounds. It would be pretty durable.

Teepee tops won't work with my setup. I'm currently looking at these. They are very expensive, but they're nice and I like how they operate. Any feedback on this? https://trash-cans.com/products/indoor-outdoor-trash-can-round-decorative-slatted-sides-32-gallon-trd32-02

I use the 30 gallon drums with the tops removed. I don't like them for two reasons. The first is that they are not very professional looking. The second is that we don't have a top on them so people drive by and dump their whole car out, without using a single service, and then leave. I think...

This makes my recent $3000 bill for a new water well pump seem inexpensive, especially when the last pump lasted 7 years.

That is alarming...

I'm not sure why you act like illegal was pejorative. If they were driving with no license or insurance, then they are illegal by definition. I always encourage people to vote inasmuch as it's our responsibility. But, this 'madness' is already slowing...

Seems like if it was the same person, they would try something different. Maybe they're not very smart, though.

I agree. I don't say anything unless all of my bays are full and I have people waiting. And because of that, I may remove my signs. If all of your bays are full often with a line, then you should raise prices.
