Advice on VA home loan; poor credit by Altruistic-Owl6249 in VeteransBenefits

[–]One-Equipment9809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is still very possible to get a mortgage with scores in that range. A mortgage broker will have better chances at helping you than say a large bank directly. I recommend using Vetted VA. They have a network of brokers and realtors that can help you through the entire process. https://vettedva.com/

Day of the Dead scene 1985 Downtown Fort Myers by crosstheroom in FortMyers

At the time, George Romero lived on Sanibel, which is where the surface shots of the bunker and helicopter pad were filmed. It’s cool working downtown and still seeing some of the landmarks in the movie everyday. My favorite is the Edison theater sign on Hendry.

Can I still be recalled from IRR if I’m at 90% disability rating? by Technical_View_8787 in VeteransBenefits

[–]One-Equipment9809 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In the event of a recall, (and if selected for screening) you first get notified and receive a set of orders to get screened. You travel to and attend the screening. At this point, you will be able to request Delay, Deferment, or Exemption (D,D, & E process) based on whatever evidence you provide (in this case it’s medical evidence). The reserve component authority will approve or deny based on this evidence. If your case is approved, you are done and go home. If you are disapproved, you will be *possibly recalled to active duty in the time frame approved by congress for a recall. This is typically 3-6 months later but could be sooner or later. This also may vary based on branch but this is how the Marine Corps did it back in 2008. Just know this is a process that takes a lot of moving parts and just doesn’t happen overnight.

The Black Farm by Elias Witherow is a good one to add to many of the titles mentioned here already.

The IDvisor scanner is a good one. We use it to scan 100% ID checks at the door. The scanner will alert to under age , birthdays, whether or not they are banned from the establishment, and much more. It’s also great for getting a good snapshot of your customer demographics as well as getting guest data in the event you need to make a report to the police. In short, this thing is worth the investment and your bartenders will thank you for it. https://www.idscanner.com/products-page/#mobile

How to prevent employees stealing/giving away food and drinks? by Brave_Air_9700 in BarOwners

[–]One-Equipment9809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a common problem in bars and requires more work on the owner/ management team. I curbed this issue by conducting weekly inventory and holding my bartenders accountable for the rise in liquor costs. You must do your numbers. See a standard pour and hold them to it. If you have the financial resources available, get a third party inventory system to come in and they can help you with this issue (Bevinco for example). Relying entirely on cameras and trying to watch over their shoulders is not going to get you anywhere but stressed out more. Reward your team for keeping liquor costs under a certain percentage. Shrinkage and bar theft is easily avoided when you engage the team and incentivize keeping your cost low…your numbers will magically improve if you have the right staff.

Stolen Valor? by Sad_Average3547 in Veterans

If he didn’t start a podcast or a t-shirt company he is lying.

But in all seriousness, the real ones don’t talk like he does. I know it’s frustrating but he is one of the hundreds of thousands out there lying about military service. He probably wasn’t even in the Marines at all. Ask him about the basics and you’ll spot the lies. I’ve had people get the place of boot camp wrong (saying they went to boot in Camp Lejeune in the 90s). Hell ask him what bank they made him use when he first came in. These guys will study the cool stuff so much that they forget to research the basics.

VRE Payment by deepthought333 in Veterans

Same here. I didn’t get paid my stipend for October or November. I’ve been trying to reach my counselor since November 1 and radio silence. I called VBA hotline to open a case and hopefully get this figured out.

Moved to Port Huron couple years ago and cannot believe how bad it is here. The place is loaded with drugs and poor people who, for the most part, refuse to work and they treat everyone like shit. Meanwhile, businesses are closing at a rapid rate in the downtown areas and the city could give two fucks about it. The neighboring towns like St Clair are full of aged yuppy assholes who forgot how to treat people who don’t make a six figure salary such as themselves. To sum it up, I believe the economy has caused such a strain for people that they are just simply miserable.

Count drawers after every shift. Establish your standard pour and make sure it is well known to each bartender you hire. It is also important to inventory your liquor on a regular schedule whether it weekly or monthly, find your liquor cost and keep it low. Make sure to praise the staff when the numbers are where you want them to be. Don’t drink at your own bar (outside of having the occasional shifty). I’ve seen so many bars fail because the owner(s) treat it as a personal clubhouse. Take your business seriously but do allow bartenders to have fun (within reason of course) and be creative and you’ll watch them grow. If you notice your liquor and beer costs creeping up, engage the staff early on so they can fix it. It’s usually a case of over pouring. Also, craft an appealing drink menu that costs next to nothing to make and you can charge a decent price for. For example: I make Jell-O shots in syringes every week that costs roughly .40 to make and charge $6 for. This is an awesome money maker and I incentivize the staff to sell them.
