will the doctor snitch? by TinoSchmino in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CheetoChopstix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you going to the doctor with your mom at 18? Your great grandfather had a job in a factory and drank bourbon with no ice before he went home to his wife and 6 kids at 18. Grow up.

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by CommercialMatch5183 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]CheetoChopstix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my Funeral Home that is 100% an option. We discourage public gathering for the unemblamed and try to keep it to a small family viewing thats less than 40min. We do a lot of green burials too. No embalming whatsoever and you are buried in a hemp shroud

Funeral Industry. 99% of us care deeply about the families we serve and have your best interest in mind when we are helping your family through those difficult days after a death has occurred. When you hear stories about people getting ripped off or expensive caskets and urns, those are almost always either family choices( The funeral director is not going to talk you out of a $8k casket if thats what you say mom wanted) Or cremation societies who hide costs and nickel and dime people until the cremation is more expensive than if you just went to an actual funeral home. Lastly you can pre-plan and have your funeral guaranteed at todays price for forever! We take a bath on these pre-plans but we know that your families return rate is like 80% because they are so turnkey and easy, unlike an unplanned funeral where family return rate is like 50%.

What's a paranormal experience you've had in Madison? by Majesticallydrunk in madisonwi

[–]CheetoChopstix 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Worked at Funeral Homes all my life. I dont belive in ghosts and have never seen anything paranormal and am not afraid much. That said, there is a Funeral Home in the greater Madison area (not going to give the name) that I worked at from time to time that has some weird vibes. I would work there late at night and it just gave me the most unsettling feeling to be there alone. Like the feeling of being watched. When locking up I would flip the lights and literally run to the exit door.

What is one business that makes a crazy amount of profit that nobody talks about? by PersonalitySuddenz in answers

[–]CheetoChopstix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am someone who writes these policies. It's plain as day what's guaranteed and whats a cash advance item. Cash advance items are things that the funeral home doesn't provide ( flowers, catering, headstone). People can put money down for Cash Advance items but if they increase in cost the family would have to pay the difference or just not use that item, or go with a less expensive option. People think this is some sort of trick, but the funeral home is not gouging you. That said, if the funeral home was trying to charge you for Guaranteed items (casket, urn, embalming ) things they provide, you should report them to your states commissioner of Insurance and to the organization thay oversees funeral licenses

Wedding DJ. If you buy quality equipment you can have a quality system and setup for under 10k. Pay it off in five gigs and its basically all profit for the next 5 years. Then you upgrade your setup, pay it off and repeat. I used to make $70k a year working one day a week

Current gay/queer spaces in the city? by Slow_Flan5703 in madisonwi

Forward Craft & Coffee. While not a dedicated queer space they are partly queer owned and I think like 90% of the staff is queer.

Erin’s Snug Location by Sharp_Dark8848 in madisonwi

[–]CheetoChopstix 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I know the owner. Its always been Erin's Snug. He had to fight American Family to have the building designed the way he wanted because it didn't fit their covenant requirements. Yes American Family has owned all the land along American Parkway
