I honestly would expect the owners of those kind of businesses would HAVE to work there themselves to see a profit, unless they hire immigrants willing to work there for the bare minimum or old folks trying to do something less stressful after retirement.
shyt, I would probably have to even live there if I opened one, like have an apartment upstairs or something.
I just go by what I’ve seen from others who open up businesses like that. They’re either working there, have family working there, or having people/friends from whatever country they’re from with bad English/no hopes of having a legit career here in the US that work there.
Only way I imagined those type businesses stay afloat unless there’s just like a laundromat chain.
It was the same with my ex’s “business”… she had to be there all day everyday damn near because she couldn’t find someone willing to do the job right for the small amount of money she offered. Then, she only hired people of her culture because that was the scam they were in and most didn’t have the experience, will, or education needed to actually open their own or work somewhere else more legitimate.
So she had shytty “employees” and zero down time. Good luck
