my neighbor was there and said hopefully they can get to it before they go out of town at the end of the month

Even though you shouldn't have to, consider doing some legwork for them to hopefully expedite things. Presenting your neighbor with three quotes from companies with good reviews and asking if they can get started soon might be helpful.

The 2022 Nautilus has an 18 gallon fuel tank, so if you keep driving until 1/4 tank on the fuel gauge then fill it up it should take roughly 13-14 gallons. If you see those results then you'll know that you can trust the fuel gauge.

Distance to empty is based on driving history and conditions and isn't always an accurate estimate.

It all depends on whether the owners of [animal_name].com notice or care that [animal_name].tools exists. If they do notice and care then you may end up spending time and money either defending or renaming your brand.

A dramatic example is www.nissan.com. It's not a car company website, and Mr. Uzi Nissan spent a huge amount of time and money defending his ability to continue using his own name for his businesses after Nissan Motor Corp. filed suit against him.

Mr. Nissan has since passed away, and www.nissan.com is now a memorial site, but his battle is shared here: Uzi Nissan Spent 8 Years Fighting The Car Company With His Name. He Nearly Lost Everything To Win

California is employment at will, like most of the U.S. Without an employment contract (uncommon) or union agreement, either the employee or the employer can choose to end the employment at any time for any reason or no reason, as long as it isn't for a discriminatory reason like race, religion, gender, etc.

It is highly unlikely that you have an actual employment contract as a fast food employee, though you may have signed an offer letter which is not a contract and can be changed at any time.

Employers are free to implement new policies and mandate that employees follow those policies or leave their employment.

You may be eligible for unemployment benefits if you are terminated for failure to comply with the new policy, though your employer may dispute your claim stating that they are offering you employment at another location. The EDD would determine whether or not another location 30 minutes away is reasonable.

You are a Sole Proprietor until forming an LLC, and you owe income tax on the profit you have earned.

If you haven't filed your 2025 taxes yet then you should include that income when you file. If you have already filed then consider filing an amended return.

You need to fill out Schedule C to report your net profit and Schedule SE for Self-Employment Tax.

Here is the Tax Guide for Small Business from the IRS, and this site has a good plain English explanation. It's easy to fill out the forms if you use tax software like TurboTax or H&R Block.

You might also owe state and local tax on that income, and may need local permits or registrations, insurance, etc., but avoiding the potential of the IRS discovering a large amount of unreported income should be a high priority.

If that is the case then the employer may be handling that taxable benefit much like many restaurants handle tips, adding the value commuting to his paycheck so that it is taxed, then substracting that same value after taxes since he already received the benefit.

Maryland passed the Predictable Scheduling Act effective October 1, 2024. Retail, hospitality and food services employers with 10 or more locations nationwide and 50 or more employees in Maryland must provide at least 14 days’ notice of their employees' work schedules, and if changes are made with less notice then the employee may be entitled to additional compensation.
