A former bar owner told me this, as to why you always lose money owning a bar:
(Conversation Paraphrased:)
To make it in Business,
You MUST Exactly Think Like a Criminal; By Deed.
85% of your employees clinically procure, “complimentary,” drinks in exchange for unidentified desires to various personalities; (there-in-which) this inherent activity bleeds the Already Spent Product /Profit.
So it’s the intermediate exchange of the equity.
That is why business does not work.
