It comes down to this: Ray has to pay his rent. Let's all contribute to the PayPal fund set up to help him do that. And let's also help him either make his store profitable or help him get his social security. He could really use some advice from someone with expertise in small business operations. Does anyone who reads this blog have experience operating a small business and some time to advise Ray?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30373593.post-27095765253907580712010-01-13T18:22:49.574-05:002010-01-13T18:22:49.574-05:00I agree with John Penley.

We don't know who will wind up in Ray's space if his store does indeed close, and we don't need to pick on someone who had nothing to do with the situation. Ray's business is suffering because of his refusal to charge modern day prices for the stuff he sells and the fact that the crusties pray upon his good natured personality and scare away a lot of customers.
