Calamity Kris Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Something to think about through all this craziness. The folks that will be hurt the worst are the "little guy". The mom & pop restaurants, the neighborhood mini-marts, the corner coffee shop or bakery, the small main-street businesses. The majority of them have little to no wiggle room in their profits so if folks stay away, these small businesses will hurt far worse than any of the national chains will. It would be a shame to have them go away. Please, don't forget to patronize them. If you want dinner, get take out or have it delivered. Grab your coffee and danish or bagel to go. Buy a small something extra when you're in there. I'm sure they will appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 So true Kris In the same boat are all the vendors. What will the food vendors do with all their perishable supplies? With all the venues cancelling they are out that inventory plus sales revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will put the hurt on the hourly folks who work for them also. The kids behind the registers, the ones hauling out the garbage, the ones cleaning the restrooms. It's a bad situation all the way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Ohio’s Governor has now closed all bars and restaurants. My son makes most of his living as a musician. He plays bars, restaurants, wineries etc. even special parties and events that he had booked are being cancelled!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's the same thing for all of the hourly workers in sports also, the ones behind the scenes that make the sport happen. For anyone who just barely scrapes by, whether it be a Mom and Pop store, small time entertainers, suppliers to events with larger crowds or just the normal everyday Joe......it's going to be tough. It already is for me and millions more just like me. It'll affect the rich, middle class and poor with impunity. In other words, it's a big $hit sandwich and we all gotta take a bite. Thank you, Chris, for your post. It's a reminder to help the "little guy" when possible. If every one "pays it forward", I think we'll all get though without too much damage.
