It would be so nice to be able to run a business without customers. Customers suck.

I can haz fast trucks plz

I find that running a business works better if you use employees instead of customers.

As my first boss said: “The customer may always be right, but sometimes the customer is a fucking idiot.” and “There are some people who just aren’t your customer, you’ll know them when you meet them, and they should be handled with extreme prejudice.”

I’ll show you fast.

Also, customers. Ugh.

Several variations include:

“The customer is always right, except when they’re wrong, which is most of the time.”

“The customer is never right. But you always treat them as if they are.”

But in this case I’m referring to our customer base as a whole. We’ve had orders ready to go out, just building up and building up. Many days where our delivery driver was running around with a mostly empty truck, or even sitting doing nothing. In the last week and a half, the floodgates opened and EVERYONE wants their stuff at once, and we just don’t have the capacity to get everything out.

The joys of the construction industry.

Having customers is stupid.

I would like work in a company that has department A and department B. Department A would make and sell something while doing some profit. The depart B would be run be me and its purpose would be to decimate the profit made by department A. The investors would of course get no money back but they could have fun time seeing what department B has been making.

This type of company was shown in Batman movies.

Department A sells something to Department B. Department B sells it back.

The whole operation is funded by the Department of Defense and ends up furnishing no purpose other than pumping money into the economy via the employees spending.

I like it.

So basically you want to run an R&D department with no budget?

You can!, and this is how: be a Congressperson!!!

Sure you have to campaign and suck up to folks for votes. But once you’re in, you’re in. No one will remember or care enough to show up for a midterm election. Just kick back and rake in the money. Problem solved.

I work in a Holiday-Seasonal industry. From October through Christmas we run two shifts and 80-90 hour work weeks for salaried employees (me). We do ~80% of our yearly business in November and December.

We’re REALLY trying hard to get our customers to think about the holidays in advance so we can at least get tooled up and have product dev out of the way before the rush hits... but that’s like pulling teeth and I have Friday off because we have nothing to do.

The Muscle/Pony car HP wars are well under way. Let’s get the Muscle Trucks going.

Yeah, you can never rush customers. We do have a few who do things right, but for the most part it’s either:

- Insist they need it RIGHT NOW, and that they’re going to go elsewhere if we can’t do it. Problem for us since our business is largely custom. So we screw other stuff up to get theirs to them and then they hit the inevitable construction delay, and it sits.

- We have lots of time, it’s OK, 2-4-6-8-whatever it is week lead time is fine. 3/4 of the way through that period they’re on the phone every day asking why it hasn’t been delivered yet.
