Yeah, it's really hard to do more than just break even with most businesses. People don't understand the amount of steady volume you need to actually turn a profit after costs are paid, which, in turn, is heavily dependent on repeat business. It's one of the reasons why most businesses fail within 2 years, and, in Korea, why you see failures as quick as 6 months. Meanwhile, this guy's bar is only bustling during the weekend, does not have the kind of space that could support the number of patrons he would need heading in and out of his dinky little bar to support the lifestyle he lives, and all while being located on prime real estate, too. It's definitely not cheap being there. I have no idea why his family allows him to hemorrhage money like that, but I figured it's probably a way of keeping him out of trouble. If you only knew this guy, lmao. King Poser Douche.
I bet Chinguetti's spaghetti and muscle for hire would be rolling in the green pretty quickly. :D
i feel like a lot of new businesses operate under the field of dreams quote: "build it, and they will come"
That actually sounds like a good business model, lol.Free spaghetti with every purchase of muscle-for-hire. That's how I would stand out against the rest of the muscle-for-hire businesses. Both safety and full stomachs, guaranteed.
It's that time of year again when a bunch of women are grasping at their boyfriends whenever they see me in the area, and often letting out super loud, super fake giggles and laughs. It's the kind of thing that happens all year 'round but it's so much more obvious and frequent during certain seasons. I'm pretty sure these are all fresh relationships and that these women just don't want any of their boy toys' attention away from them during their whirlwind 3-week romance, but it's still annoying as ****.To the men here, I know you also experience similar, but do you notice certain times of the year when it's worse than the norm? Also, how does it normally play out for you? Do insecure boyfriends sling their arms around their ladies? Try to stare you down with a John Wayne glare? Purse their lips in an attempt at a sneer? To clarify, I'm not talking about any time you're out on a date with someone. I'm talking about the times when you're alone and minding your own business and just trying to walk to the store or whatever.

My area is nothing but my students or younger, or elderly people. There's no in between here haha.
The students are living with their grandparents? What happened to the parents in this situation? Went to a bigger city to work and didn’t want to bring their kid(s) with them so sent them to their grandparents’?
I guess some are with a parent, or their parents, but by elderly, I mean 50+ years old.
^ yeah, it's pretty immature. Then again (and I'm gonna get roasted for this) your average Korean in their 20s does seem more immature than the same age as people back home. This has been my experience generally. Maybe because Koreans live at home, don't have to get a part time job when they're younger and have few responsibilities around the house? Just less life experience maybe
Ehhh....I think Korean people who stay home develop different maturity skills, not less. There's more to maturity than paying rent. Also, the fact that 30 year olds in the West refer to basic tasks as "adulting" makes me question this maturity gap.
