cost cutting

Quality phoatie shopping, I had to look at that like a million times to tell the difference from the original. The watch is the only giveaway.

If I was ever to go "camping" I would definitely not wear my glasses. They are not in the slightest way camp.

I thought I only missed the button... sigh

If you don't mind, I need to go find a gas oven to wear as a helmet.

Hi! We are operating a car wash station and a 24/7 convenience store. Lately, we noticed that our energy & water consumption are quite high compared to last year. Now, we are looking for some effective solutions to be able to minimize the consumption. Can you suggest some great ways in achieving it? Thank you!

Energy is much more caused by heating & cooling than lighting. Keep as much lighting as possible as people need to feel safe, esp at night. Consider a heating & cooling analysis or do yourself like inspecting weatherproofing and checking for water leaks, esp the toilets for slow drips or sticking flush handles as when the customers leave they don't care and usually don't know if the water ever stops or keeps running due to a stuck handle where the flapper doesn't fall all the way to seal the water. If the electric or water rates rose, raise your car wash prices as much and make sure you compensate for years you didn't raise the price. Better a net profit margin of $4 per car for 25 cars/day for $100 profit than $.10 profit for 1,000 cars/day for the same $100 profit which would likely not even justify car wash maintenance for so many cars.
