Do you mean companies that just do vac repairs/sales? I don’t see how any company that just does vacuum repairs can be sustainable? 😯
There’s one in my town, right in the centre, with hugh rent bills. Just vacuums, no other appliances. It gets sold on to a new mug every year. I’ve heard a rummor that the latest owener is making a loss every week, so he aproached the local ‘citizens advice beuro’ and they said…
“Don’t worry about it! Carry on running the business at a loss, and because your earning less than 11 grand a year, you can claim the working tax credit.” (Or whichever benifit it is).
😯
So now, it’s like the government is subsidising my competetion, because they are s***! In a fair world, they would go out of business for being s***, and I would get more work! 😡 It makes me wonder why I bother being professional and good at my job, when I could be s*** and make more money 🙁 😥 🙁
