@mellifluousbox@mastodon.social @steltenpower@social.edu.nl advertising does take money, so do safety precautions. If they skimp on one why wouldn’t they skimp on others? Food just a little out of date, equipment clean but not sanitized, employees that aren’t certified, insurance that didn’t get paid. They cut corners and I don’t trust that.

@passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social @mellifluousbox@mastodon.social @steltenpower@social.edu.nl Because a lot of mom-and-pop small business owners don't have a comprehensive business plan or even a comprehensive advertising plan. They come with core skills in the trade, not in running a business. So generally they do the thing they're selling very well, but they don't sell it well. And they don't always have a good understanding of the pros and cons of automated help when they can't afford a human. (Looking in part at myself here.)
