[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8136222, member: 614752"] You think calling me a racist is hurting my feelings or helping your cause? I am a racist, and I believe the vast majority of people are. It is a basic human instinct to distrust the person who looks/dresses/talks/smells different from you and your family/tribe/group because we have millions of years evolution/experience that that person is more likely than not competition for your resources. Furthermore, I find that most people who try so hard to prove they're not racist are, and have just been conditioned to feel guilty about it. My post wasn't even directed at you, just a general perception of what this scenario would look like to your potential customers based on the situation. Your potential "customer"'s blood alcohol content doesn't enter into his concerns or his ability or willingness to pay for work done either. You'll find drunks are generally pretty loose with their money (why casinos feed people free booze), so you may want to revise your thoughts on that being some kind of detriment to doing business. I don't work in the industry whatsoever, but I can tell you if you don't understand why a shop needs to bill 100$ an hour to stay afloat, you have a lot to learn about the real world. For the sake of argument tell us what you bill for your time per hour for your work. [/QUOTE]
