Running a LFS is a lot of work, long hours, and later runs to the airport.

No business can sell things at a loss on an extended period of time, that’s not even considered “non-profit”, that is considered “bankruptcy”.

Unless you are directly involved in dealing with the orders, you do not know the costs involved with them. Shipping, CITES, USFW, CFIA, and a lot of other acronyms I haven’t even listed, all of these take a piece of the pie, that is not including the businesses that supply the livestock or the agents (transhippers) cuts.

Agree with everything you said there, most people who run their own business understand the additional costs that are piled on by many different things. Sorry if this sounds condescending to some but unless you are running your own business especially if you employ other people, you have absolutely no clue what it really takes to run a business. I have had people say to me "Yeah I ran my own store so I know whats all involved" And when I asked them what happened to their store it's the same old story, "oh I closed it up, economy was bad."Or some other bs story. Talk to the store owner who has run his business for 20-30 yrs and they will tell you it's a crap load of work and blood sweat and tears. That doesn't even take into consideration how much the government and certain suppliers rape you with additional tax's and costs.

Thanks. I blame iPhone for that one.

The Majority of add ons are a huge rip off.

My wife is in the industry... Visual communications design(graphic artist) and I am glad she can do anything our wedding photog could do ... Or our picture book would have cost $700. She did it for under 50. So how's the industry marko?

You can tell us about your sales perhaps instead of continuing ragging on rhe vendors, which is now painfully long and comes accross like you ate lacking any real insight or knowledge. Frack.

Seems you really like negative attention. Most your threads are antagonizing people... And most people , my self included , roll their eyes when you make any post.

I see more and more of the real you on here buddy. Maybe remove your business info. Reflects horribly.

I would never hire a guy with your attitude.

And I think we're done here...
