Very interesting article.  I agree with the majority on many points. Socialism is not the way to build a strong economy.  Just follow history. (more) Very interesting article.  I agree with the majority on many points. Socialism is not the way to build a strong economy.  Just follow history.

Having managed a restaurant, you MUST include upcharges on the menu. Servers should also reinforce that there will be an upcharge, which means they needs to be properly trained!  Most people understand that some items are more expensive and will be willing to pay a bit more for what they want,...

Servers should also reinforce that there will be an upcharge, which means they needs to be properly trained!  Most people understand that some items are more expensive and will be willing to pay a bit more for what they want, but they need to have that information before ordering.

(more) In spite of COVID 19, I had my best year ever since getting into the Direct to Consumer wine business.  Nurturing existing customers helped earn new customers as my business was shared through word of mouth.  Attendance at virtual wine tastings has grown and I feel the momentum will continue through a majority of 2021.  Alignable businesses had more time to reach out and connect.  This, too, began new relationships for all involved.  The "Silver Lining" was there just waiting to be seen and appreciated.  Hoping for a virus free world very soon.  Staying positive and energized for growth for all in 2021!
