CIVIL PROTESTING CLOSE TO CAR WASH NEW EXPERIENCE???

[mjwalsh]

It might be too sensitive of a topic but I am wondering if any fellow car wash owners have ever had protesters (marching etc) for whatever reason in front of or close by their car washes.

The below today's starting point was within a few blocks of our car wash. Not sure how extensive the streets will be closed & for how long. It appears that the George Floyd Death Protests are continuing around the country & even extending internationally???

See the link below. The pic is from Saturday. I did walk over about 3:55 today with my coffee cup. Hopefully, it will remain peaceful ... & without too many shouting vulgarities & even potentially worse. Fargo, ND had some serious damage to businesses & others over the weekend.

I was just informed we have a protest scheduled satrurday evening Not to thrilled to hear this because protests always seem to start out civil. Myself and my brother in law will probably be hanging around for a little while.

Had to shut down early a few times so far. Our immediate area is good but shit hit the fan 1 mile in every other direction (where most of the staff lives)

I am honestly more worried about this affecting us more than covid19 has. It's a situation for sure nothing good out of it

Hopefully we can contain this Shit Show in Texas.

Put up a big "Black Cars Matter" sign.

Years ago, we had a guy who wasn't happy with the car wash he received. The standards we offered (second wash, refund) wasn't good enough for him. I forget the particulars, and I'm guessing he wanted too much in return. Anyway, for a few days, he had himself a one-man protest.We laughed it off, and he stopped.

Tomorrow evening there is a protest scheduled about three blocks from our wash. Hopefully they stay contained there.

"Protest..."

There was some minor looting here a couple days ago. Not protests, even though it may have started out that way, I don't know. People were saying that someone left a bunch of bricks out where the protests were planned.

I've seen photos of pallets of bricks here in Delaware. Two pallets are two blocks from where a protest will be held at noon this Friday. Since this is happening in various states across our country you know somebody big is behind it. This is way passed the George Floyd issue.

People have taken photos and videos of bricks near protest sites across the country, but at least some have been there since before protests began.
