It was only the 3 of use who knew how good of a school Cornell is and we worked that list to the letter. Our tips went up dramatically and we'd go an entire Friday or Saturday night with the manager never having to visit out section of the restaurant. The other servers couldn't be bothered.

People who think they're going to open a bike store, be all hippie, smoke hooka's and try to save the planet will go broke and close shop. A bike store must be run as a proper business, if you don't know how to run a proper business you have no business opening a bike store.
