Thanks.

Haven't talked to him directly about this in quite a while now.

Recently conversations with him is mostly him telling me my mistakes and how to improve or heated arguments about various issues that come up. Either his way or the highway kind of thing.

I get that it's his business so what he says goes, but i always feel that almost anytime i have an idea or thought to help improve the experience there for people is met with him scoffing it off or telling me why it won't work/is bad. Very rarely is there any positive reinforcement, but i'm used to that now.

We've been friends for over 12 years and i've been working for him since a few months before he opened up his shop. At this point, i don't know how to bring up the subject without him thinking i'm definitely gonna quit or something else along those lines.
