but, my competition is on most every corner, and probably a lot more economically diverse than yours. We have seen years when it was easy to pass through expense increases, and others that we had to hold the line and eat the additional costs ourselves. We juggle primary, secondary and tertiary supplier commitments, and credit lines, to keep our supplies flowing at the lowest possible cost, which our business model calls for us to turn at the lowest competitive price. We work hard to provide our customers with clean, safe, secure environments, and a sense that they can count on us for quality and value. We work just as hard to take care of the people that are the faces of our business. In the end, and on balance, we, my wife and I, earn a respectable living. That is to be expected as we leveraged our accumulated savings after 30 years of working for others into a business that at times requires me to sweep parking lots or clean restrooms. I can't just raise the rent and generate a desired eoy number. We fight for it, on multiple fronts, every day. We do this while faced with ever increasing nonsensical regulatory assault from the FDA (all hands trained on cig and tobacco merchandising, which they have NO ROLE TO PLAY), EPA (all hands trained on manual system recovery, in a totally automated environment, which precludes any manual operation), DoL (staff must look like community served, justify education and work history reference requirement), NLRB (postings requiring union organizing information), DoJ with ADA (now routine repairs are subject to latest ADA standards) and USDA. Our end of year scorecards show that most days we win, some others not so much, but thanks for the advice.
