THATS ROUGH

SO TOTALLY GOING TO LIVE UP TO THE NAME OF RANDOMNESS TODAY. BASICALLY MY FAMILY HAS BEEN HAVING WEEKLY FAMILY DINNERS SINCE MY NEPHEWS BEEN BORN. I GET TO SEE MY NEPHEW AND HANG OUT AND PLAY WITH HIM. PLUS GET TO HAVE DINNER WITH EVERYONE AND JUST CHILL OUT. SINCE THIS ONE RESTAURANT WAS HAVING RENOVATIONS, WE ENDED UP TRYING DIFFERENT PLACES. THIS ONE CHINESE PLACE WAS ALRIGHT AND WE WENT BACK A COUPLE OF TIMES. FIRST TIME THERE WERE 2 TABLES IN THERE. SECOND TIME THERE WAS NO ONE, AND LAST WEEK THERE WAS NO ONE EITHER. I JUST GO IN TO PICK UP TAKEOUT. I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM NOT BEING BUSY BUT THAT MUST BE ROUGH. AN ENTIRE NIGHT WITHOUT A CUSTOMER, OR JUST ONE. YOUR OVERHEAD WOULD BE KILLING YOU. TAKE PAY AND ALL THAT OUT AND JUST SAY ITS A FAMILY BUSINESS. MY ONE TAKEOUT ISNT GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LONG RUN. MY QUESTION IS HOW THE HELL DO THEY SURVIVE... THERE IS A TON OF CHINESE RESTAURANTS NEARBY AND THEY ALL SELLING THE SAME THING. HOW DO THEY SURVIVE. LETS JUST SAY THEY ARE ALL LEGAL AND UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. CHINESE RESTAURANTS ARE USUALLY QUIETER ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY, DEPENDS WHERE WEDNESDAY IS A HIT OR MISS. WEEKEND AND SO ON SHOULD BE BUSY. THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS WHERE THEY ARE JUST BUSY ALL THE TIME. THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS IS DO ANY OF YOU EVER FEEL SAD FOR THEM? FOR EXAMPLE YOU SEE THEM WITH NO CUSTOMERS AND ITS SUPER QUIET. IT ALMOST MAKES YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND TRY TO HELP, BUT THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHO GETS HELP AND SO FORTH. YA IT SUCKS THAT NOT EVERY PLACE CAN BE BUSY AND MAKING MONEY BUT THERES JUST TOO MANY OF THEM. WE DIDNT END UP GOING THAT PLACE, WE WENT TO A NEW PLACE, BUT I WONDER WHAT THAT RESTAURANT THINK... I WONDER IF THEY WERE ASKING WHERE I WAS...

THE SAME GOES TO BUSINESSES. YOU KNOW SOMETIMES YOU SEE BUSINESSES AND YOU THINK "HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY SURVIVING" ITS THE SAME AS ABOVE. ITS HARD TO BE SUCCESSFUL. ITS JUST ROUGH. THEN THERES THE OTHER TYPE OF BUSINESS AND YOU JUST THINK THEY SHOULDNT BE IN BUSINESS LOL. NOT QUITE IF THIS MADE SENSE SINCE I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP AND IM HELLA TIRED. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN HELP EVERYONE, AND ITS KINDA SUCKS BECAUSE YOU CANT HELP THEM. THEN AGAIN HOW MUCH CAN YOU REALLY HELP... AND YOURE STILL BUSY HELPING YOURSELF.
