Frustrated and feeling like throwing in the towel…
I’ve owned my take out delivery shop for 22 years. I’m located in MA and the current minimum wage is $12 and is scheduled to increase to $15.
When I opened the minimum was $5.25 and the price of a large pizza was $8.00, now my large is $11.99 and I need to go up again. Domino’s is $12.49.
My issue is customer complaints on social media… I’ll place a Facebook ad and former customers will bash me for high prices. I am barely making a profit and people make it seem like I’m price gouging…
3 people left bad comments yesterday and everyone looked to be over the age of 60.
I got frustrated because it’s an ad and I did not want to get into a public discussion on how expensive I am so I did not respond and I deleted the comments.
I’m sure it’s because they remember the $8 pizza price from 20 years ago. I do have a 15% off senior discount and I am considering private messaging them but honestly its probably a lost cause…
The amount of time I work on the business per day week isn’t worth my paycheck.
I’m in my 50’s and I’m really afraid the stress is going to kill me.
Time to get out???
