hobby stores. Just about everywhere you can play magic is a small business.

most restaurants... even what are national chains are usually franchises that would classify as small businesses.

I think that's correct, and dry cleaners also. And I wonder--while Tattoo artists and stylists provide an individual relationship between the service provider and the customer, neither laundry mats nor dry cleaners are like that. I wonder why there hasn't been more consolidation in that industry, especially since there really could be efficiencies at larger scale.

So you’re just talking walk in businesses, not something like a plumber

the point is that bucky is clearly wrong

I had a bruised toenail that finally recovered after six months. We did it, guys!

WHAT THE HELL IS A LAUNDRY MAT?

for the sake of the prior discussion, i don't think it qualifies as a small business tho.

A friend of mine, who works down the street from here at AtlantiCare received an email this morning that one of his co-workers may have contracted the coronavirus. No one knows if it's true or not since that hasn't been any follow up. In the meantion, DHS is currently in one of our parking lots, with full hazmat gear and oxygen doing some training. Fun times.

Oh shit, what AtlantiCare location does he work at?

He works in their IT facility on Delilah Rd near the intersection with Fire Rd.

Hey there, Delilah.
