I've seen too many instances of either:

  • hospitality companies making an extra buck at the expense of everyone else
  • people with "I am gonna make money with no expenses, watch meh"

people with “I am gonna make money with no expenses, watch meh”

as an example:

"Consumables," are the perishable supplies. So that alone will put a damper on that mind-set.

If you make a product that requires you needing to handle said product with nitrile gloves, you're going to need to allocate some of your potential earnings back into the company and buy more nirile gloves until that specific consumable eventually pays for itself OR you charge a little extra to keep the consumables in stock.

It's a business that they're running, so if they're not able to use those fees to actually do what they say they're going to, then they need to accept the fact that people are no longer willing to pay for the services.

Like the person wearing the nitrile gloves isn't making the nitrile gloves but they're required to make the product.

So if you're paying a cleaning fee and they're making you clean, they're not using the money where it's supposed to be going OR they're not hiring a cleaning crew that can do what they need.

I've also seen some videos where some of the air b'n'b owners going, "if i need to do this by this time," well maybe they shouldn't be allowing guests so soon and booking on top of each other. As much as it is a business, if they're not running the business properly and only looking at the end profit gain...... then they shouldn't be doing what they're doing and look into doing something else.
