    Thoughts on raising prices to run off the bad customers?

    1. Match next highest competitor on Price and bay time. 2. Add CC with $2.00 start and count up. 3. Put in a Superbay (or 2) with premium Pricing 20% higher than regular Bay. (Also serves as "Demand Pricing" 4. Put in Bill acceptors. I did half the bays as an experiment with an ad on...

    Lighting questions

    Randy - Which one? Installed one of these over the Changes https://jarvisdirect.com/collections/xbeam/products/xbeam-600 and have to say it's amazing. Don't know how it would hold up in the Tunnel or SS Bay and found out you need an adapter if it's surface mount because there is a protrusion...

    rejuvenating plastic vacuum domes

    The spray paint that says it is for plastic from HD worked great unless you want the light to shine thru. Did it for Yellow, Red and Blue. Even changed the color on a couple. After about 4 years it needs to be done again.

    Sonny's custom Air Fresheners.

    Perhaps it's because I gave them with my top package and sold them in my venders that gained them acceptance. I could see lack of recognition compared to little trees. I have my 4 locations printed on them and between the sales and give aways I have bought at least 100,000.

    Sonny's custom Air Fresheners.

    I vend and give away. I have even had unsolicited feedback that someone preferred the Custom / Bomb air freshener over the little tree. BUT this one comment or so does not prove anything. I have not had anyone tell me they wanted me to bring back the little trees,

    Credit Card minimum start charges

    My point of view comes from being a Gasoline retailer. Make 40 cents gross on a $3.00 Gallon of gas and assuming someone buy 10 Gallons give up 25% of your gross (.10) to credit card fees. Sure, there is some convenience to not handling cash. But there is also the downside of CC Companies...

    Sonny's custom Air Fresheners.

    I thought I saw a post a while back that Sonny's was selling custom air fresheners. All I could find on the Sonny's site was a link for Smelly shirts. The post had something else. Forum Search function did not help me find it. Anyone have a link?

    Credit Card minimum start charges

    If I were running the Zoo customers who cost me more would pay more instead of customers who cost me less subsidizing the higher cost customer. Simplest solution is for CC companies to charge the cardholders all costs as opposed to the merchant.

    Credit Card minimum start charges

    One of the reasons I went with an Etowah valley box on the side for Bill acceptor and also has the Crypto swiper mounted to it was in case someone trashed it the meter box wasn't out of order. So far no issues, Changer outside is well lit and inside room alarmed with door and motion sensor...

    Credit Card minimum start charges

    I don't recall that my processors have any contract term. So, we have to hope the competition will keep the prices reasonable. My biggest beef is with the Chip liability shift BS for my Gas Station.

    Foam brush J-hook issues

    I do not use that type so I cannot provide photos. I store mine vertically in the typical bucket with a drain hole in it.

    wanting to add credit card readers... suggestions?

    About 5 years ago out Crypto in have the bays. Took me all of 2 months to get the other half done. I think it made a huge impact but have no way of knowing for sure if it simply switched people over or generated more income. My gut tells me it's the latter. Even if it just makes things easier...

    Pit plumbing help

    Instead of a down elbow I use a T with a threaded cap/ plug on the end and the open end facing down. Prevents floating stuff from going in and I unscrew the cap / plug if I need to shove something in for cleanout without removing it.
