Thread: Is your business open or closed July 5

Closed, since all our clients are closed! We have to work around our clients hours, which are Hospitals and clinics. All our clinic clients are closed, and the hospitals are open, but their I.T. departments are closed, which means we get to close!

Closed, in observance of the holiday.

Feel free to send those emails though!!

This is true, i try and keep my employees very happy for this same reason sometimes.

More importantly, my 65 Lincoln Project has been at a standstill for two months while we catch up on customer cars.....I will let my employees decide, if they can finish my lincoln by Saturday they can have off!

haha man that is great, i do that sometimes with one of my companies, a high end detail shop i will tell the guys on a nice day finish my car and you can have the rest of the day off lol

Maybe that's just me

Ahmen brother

I own a few companies and i closed all of them but my food business and we were certainly slow today. But my brother who works for me insisted on working so who am i to slow the guy down from wanting to work hard lol, i wish i had more employees like him!

How was everyone else's days that decided to open?

We gave our guys the day off, but we're a 24 hour, 365 day a year emergency company, so if a customer has an issue, we're working no matter what day or time. And of course, low and behold, we got a call today, just got back. Double time is a great thing though haha.

We did a few internet deals today and had a couple customers come by to pick up special orders. A slow day in volume but worth being open at the end of the day.

I opened up shop on the 5th. Did pretty good.
