    T&A air freshner sales

    Maybe it's because I live too far out of the Bible belt that they sell so well. Those Rain X sponges are a dog in the vendor in my town also though. Last month I ordered a pallet of vending items from K-R for the free ship, and due to heavy vending this month will be out in a couple of weeks...

    cross marketing w/local speedee oilchange?

    What about asking a couple of different companies to hand out their coupons to detail customers. I don't like the idea that car washes are always discounted and have a lesser value. Hand out the oil change coupons to your customers , like a value added service for detailing.

    Ed Hardy air fresheners

    I bought a few ed hardy air fresheners on ebay when my family said they were really hot. Now my almost 15 yr old girl says ed hardy is gay, so don't buy too many, unless they are gay in your area yet. Kids Vocab. not mine.

    Tried the Wicket?

    etowah- said my old a-ok doors are too small. I am probably going to change out all new boxes on one wash and see how it goes. In theory though i like the wicket system, but at over $1 per card they may throw alot of cards when empty. It seemed like a shortcut to accepting bills and CC's in the...

Our streets are nasty with all...

    Demanding recessionary customers!

    I can't believe she didn't want money for the repair of the tranny? Is it a sense of entitlement, or a very high threshold for embarrassment that allows these people to act like that. Or do they enjoy seeing how much power they get over others. Anyone figured out-- why they act like this????

    Validator problem

    This is a problem with the mars to rowe conversion and have had a few software updates. I still have one that is trouble. Supposedly by running the mars upside down the bill box is a little loose and causes that problem and was causing the rowe to fault out. Try wedging a little paper onto the...
