Other businesses?
jacquesm: I've had a gas station in Northern Canada, but it was a total failure, which is sad. We got defrauded big time while we were in Europe and the whole thing almost literally collapsed. Some of our employees had had the great idea to go and gamble in the casino with the proceeds of the business, they would put back the 'borrowed' money before we returned.You can guess the rest.By the time I found out about it (a supplier calling to Europe why we had not paid for a month) it was much too late to salvage anything.So, since then I try to stay out of retail as much as I can...I lost some money, which was sad, but they lost their livelihood and their reputations, which is probably more of a problem in the long term. It took me a while to get over it though, I had a serious trust problem for a while.
