Why stay open when prior history says you won't make any money and neither will your staff.
the "City" keeps saying it makes so much money for businesses but literally every business owner I now and almost every person I know, regardless of race, says the whole event should be canceled.
Think about this for just a minute , IF it was profitable to stay open why in the world would a smart business person close ? The people attracted to this event are not ordering 39.00 steaks and if they are they are probably not going to pay for it without complaining and not tipping.That's wierd. You can't make money on a $39 ribeye or a $38 filet?
This, unfortunately, was my experience with the event when I worked in the hospitality industry downtown in the mid to late nineties. My bad experiences with the event go beyond this but I digress.Think about this for just a minute , IF it was profitable to stay open why in the world would a smart business person close ?
