No problem.
Yeah, hi.
I'm Alex Garcia.
I own a local sports pub that's been in Seattle since like the 40s.
And I have to keep the business going because I have a bunch of starving bartenders who work for me.
It sometimes feels like we're running a marathon, and no matter how hard you work, you can't ever get to the finish line.
The weird thing about owning a local neighborhood pub is you really feel it within your customers, because I see customers that lose their job, they're on unemployment.
Um, used to come in and have, you know, three beers.
Now they come in and have one just so they can, you know, get some sanity.
They'll show up and just socialize, but you feel it.
You feel the tension.
It's, it's really weird being at a pub where you can really tell that people are worried.
We're losing money on everything, and we know where we should put our prices, but we also know that our customers are in the same spot as us.
And so we just hope we make it up with alcohol, because if we were to raise the price of our food, I feel like people wouldn't be able to afford it.
And so it's this really weird balancing act you have to do.
Just based off this conversation alone, it doesn't matter where you live in the United States.
I think we're all kind of feeling the same pain.
We're kind of all in it together.
Times are tough, and everyone's just doing their best to get by.
Chuck, what about you?
