How much of a friendless loser do you have to be to want to open a bar/restaurant to have people to hang out with? Oh my God is that why people open businesses?

Hyrax Attack! posted:I found his blog from when he was operating the restaurant. Lots of gold especially knowing what was really going on and what happened later: https://www.thebeechtree.ca/blog/ Oof. Yeah, when you're bragging about pouring a beer to drink alone in the middle of the afternoon in your empty bar, it doesn't come off as romantic as he thinks it does. BonerGhost posted:How much of a friendless loser do you have to be to want to open a bar/restaurant to have people to hang out with? A buddy of mine got a job as a manager of this local fast food place. It was part of a very small, quirky franchise, and this location was opened by this former engineer who had quit his job after being an insane workaholic who did nothing but stack paper. The owner not-so-secretly wanted the place to be his chance to finally have a social life. Unfortunately, the owner didn't really take into account the fact that a bunch of young people working fast food jobs don't tend to have a lot in common with a rich guy in his late 40s. Particularly a rich guy in his late 40s whose social skills had all but atrophied. The owner ran the place into the ground, doing things like taking the staff out for drinks at close and just hanging around being a nuisance (all the while getting more and more frustrated that all these people who he was paying and also spending so much money to entertain outside of work hours weren't really becoming close to him). The place lasted about a year.

If you want your restaurant to be a chill place to chat with your buds, you don't want a restaurant you want an organized crime front.

Also found the restaurants YouTube channel. Only two videos but holy cow. First is video from the one year anniversary party. I looked closely but couldn't spot water dripping from the ceiling but he does pick up a guitar. Fascinating tone to the video as by his own admission the death spiral was firmly locked in at this point:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJZJ_4mphQA Second video he wanders the neighborhood wearing an ill advised hat, and I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it but at the end he drinks beer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKFp0w3ykqk

An Apple store would easily pull in six figures of revenue on a busy weekend, so probably at least that much.

Apparently, Costco has an actual officially sanctioned wedding services section and hosting available at some warehouses. https://www.costco.com/weddings.html They even sell Costco honeymoon packages: https://www.costcotravel.com/Travel-Offers/Romance-Honeymoon I don't think Apple stores officially offer that service, though.

This isn't honeymoons AT Costco though. It's just their travel agency to book honeymoon packages cheaper. We've booked five vacation packages through Costco over the years because they have great pricing.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:An Apple store would easily pull in six figures of revenue on a busy weekend, so probably at least that much. Apple Stores have a greater revenue-per-square-foot ratio than Tiffany's. Even small stores can pull in over million dollars in sales in a single day during the holiday season or if there is a major product launch. The weekends when they pull in six figures of revenue are the slow ones. If this was even possible (and it's not, because Apple's brand control is too tight), you'd easily be spending mid-seven figures.

Chuckling at the idea of Apple stores being like pot stores and forced to operate on a cash only basis, and their bank runs are like the convoy scene from black hawk down.

It's happened at least twice: https://www.yourengagement101.com/blog/2010/02/couple-weds-in-apple-store/ quote:“I used to joke that the Apple Store is my church because I am not religious, and I loved everything Apple,” he said. “Ting then came up with the idea of having the wedding there.” https://www.redmondpie.com/couple-chooses-apple-store-as-post-wedding-photography-location/ The real question is how BWM would it be to set up a glass cube shaped wedding venue that's vaguely "Apple" "Store" themed and hire a bunch of hipsters in polo shirts to staff it.
