Hi everyone, I'm Amy McGrath. I'm here with Denver Riggleman and this is Truth in the Barrel Small Batch. Today we are talking about tariffs and how they affect small businesses and it is no joke. And this is such an important topic. Denver, you run a small business. What is going on?
Amy, I'm not happy. Du sprichst von kleinen Unternehmen und wie sie beeinflusst werden. Wie du weißt, haben meine Frau und ich eine Silberbackstellerie hier in Afton, Virginia. Und wir haben mit vielen seltsamen Dingen zu tun gehabt. Wenn Covid-19 passiert ist, hatten wir alle diese Covid-19-Zulassungen und alle unsere Flöten und alle unsere Verbraucherschäden.
Das hat uns fast während Covid-19 beendet. Ja, genau. So anyhow, I get a call from my wife about three days ago. Now we're still paying on many of our, I know, Amy, this is going to shock you. We're actually still paying COVID surcharges from 2021 and 2020 today. So she calls me and she's beside herself. And we had just gotten two pallets delivered to us of bottles.
She goes, honey, I got to tell you something. I'm like, oh, because we just got a retroactive tariff charge. What? Yeah. Yeah, our bottle prices went from $1.01 a bottle to $1.55 a bottle.
So they're preemptively jacking up the prices on you. Is it because of the uncertainty?
I think when you see instability... Ja, genau. So that's interesting, right? And we're really angry about it. The issue is, you can't accept, they won't let you accept the bottles unless you pay. It's not like we can just say, oh no, we want the original price. It doesn't work that way. And you're like, well, why is that so bad?
