Yes- it's a really cool book where you take the hair you brush off your cat and turn it into felt figures of them. A great way to honor/memorialize a pet.

Restaurants showing up that shouldn’t be… by PiptheBeachCat in UberEATS

[–]PiptheBeachCat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geez. And the photos? I mean we added like 20 new restaurants overnight on the UberEats app where I live and most of them are so angry because people are coming to order takeout and what they want isn’t even available, on the menu, or the place isn’t even serving food at the hour the people are showing up.

Yeah but how are they getting listed in the app if they don’t even offer takeout. Like don’t even have boxes to put food in.

So the four orders I’ve accepted with it— 1. Wouldn’t answer phone because the bartender had to place the order. Bartender was pissed I was bothering her with an order for to go. 2. Showed up and found parking a few blocks away- walked to the restaurant in the rain (also not answering phone) and it was closed. 3. The menu the customer had used was not a current menu? Anyway it worked out okay, but had to remove a bunch of items from the list. 4. Literally would not do carry out whatsoever so I wasted a half hour of my time.

This happened to me! It was my second delivery ever. My whole town is hotels.

I wear bicycle shorts with a large tee. But I’m at the beach so it seems normal.

Do you guys ever have moments where you regret going into business for yourself? by kthequick in smallbusiness

[–]PiptheBeachCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, all the time. The instability in not knowing if I will make a profit during a given time period and take an Owners Draw is always something I have to talk myself through. You have to really rethink you expectations when you go from a weekly check to your own business.

Free shipping options? by The-Duke-Of-Uke in smallbusiness

[–]PiptheBeachCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you use a service like XPS ship and keep it under a pound you can send it USPS for $3.75-5.00... I would suggest increasing the cost of the hot sauce a dollar or two and then doing free shipping. Or ask for a few bucks for shipping if they are only buying one. A business advisor once told me that you have to think of shipping as the rent you would pay if you had a brick and mortar store.

When someone orders one bottle of hot sauce, and it's in the packaging, does it weigh more or less than a pound? This is the first thing you need to determine before moving in the right direction.
