  1. Income Inequality

    We now live in a world of instant gratification. I want it now and if I don't get it, it's societies fault. No one want to work hard to work their way up. Fast food used to be an entry level workforce position, part time for high school kids. Now people think a fast food wage should support...
  2. No, your sign isn't done yet.

    My favorite is the customer who needs it now, and as soon as it's approved and we hit the print button they call back with changes. When you tell them it's already being produced they get mad that you got it done so fast.
  3. How anal are you.......... ??

    Years ago we had a customer in need of business hours for their window. She was very specific that it needed to be red. We let her know, that you wouldn't be able to read it and explained why, we suggested white, she held her ground. Knowing we were going to have to redo it after she saw it...
  4. Anyone having a problem with bad customers bringing up race/racism?

    Not race related, but I once had a customer almost punch me because I told him we weren't going to alter the Real Estate logo for his car. He was just an agent and I told him we couldn't alter the company logo without approval from corporate.
  5. Sorry State of "Today".

    I'm that cancer dad. 4 years ago my son finished treatment and 4 years ago I realized that busting my hump 50-55 a week was not how I should be treating my family regardless of the monetary return. I don't want to trade places because it made me a better person, however, I wouldn't wish it on...
  6. Suggestions Solvent to Latex

    It felt like we had to babysit the HP a lot, startup time, power needs made it harder to reconfigure area. They are good machines and have a place however, after having 2 it was time for a change. We still have our 210 but we won't turn it on. It's not worth keeping all of the supplies in stock.
  7. Handicap Parking signs

    "at least" 5' to the lower edge of the sign. The reason you see them higher is because if they are in a area where pedestrians travel, 7' to the bottom of the sign is the norm, as I understand it. That being said I have seen all kinds of wonky stuff out there. The guy in the building right...

  9. Spanish to English translation please

    my resident translator says what you have in green is good.
  10. Suggestions Solvent to Latex

    We went from solvent to latex and then back to solvent. I know it's apples to oranges to some degree however I am very pleased that we went sent latex packing.
  11. The elusive 24" x 30" realty sign frame

    This is why we build our own frames.
  12. Family owned, partnership father and son

    I would binge watch The Profit this weekend then make your decision.
  13. Do any of your offer a profit-sharing model for your staff?

    Off track, but, of the last 6 new hires under 30, I have one left.
  14. Do any of your offer a profit-sharing model for your staff?

    If you are going to offer profit sharing you need to make sure you keep your employees informed on the health of the company, but you also need to have goals on the profit that they share (10% increase or higher for example). A few years ago we realized our weekly goals were too low and it...
  15. What are your best months?

    We have been tracking this for years and for us anyway there seems to be no sure fire "this is a slow month". One year December is slow, the next it's the best. Holiday weeks are what we watch the most. It seems if a holiday is on a Wed or Thurs the entire week is shot. Other then that roll...
  16. Do any of your offer a profit-sharing model for your staff?

    We do yearly profit sharing and it's tiered based on total hours worked. We also have incentives for weekly goals and when we finish a major job we treat ourselves sometimes lunch or individual perks (concert tickets, gift cards, etc)
  17. Vector File Ownership

    That happens here in our town about once a month. You would think the city would stop offering business licenses for these shops.
  18. Need Help Gerber Sabre 408 Spindle Motor Issue

    Have you tried hitting the emergency stop and then resetting the machine? Sounds crazy but this has worked in the past when we get an error we can't figure out.
  19. Anyone using the Oki E-64S?

    Time management, we also realized that there were very few jobs that really needed the instant print lam cut process
