    Personally I don't see how your wife can hope to estimate how many pies would be needed on any particular day.

    Oh, I might add that the bikers in question were not the ones attending the rally in Alexandra as we went elsewhere, and advised the pub in advance to expect us.
    I know it wasnt you guys.
    Not on a witchunt for them it was a general thread.

    You wrote your wife gets abused often etc, this implies she gets people coming through often but not on a strict timetable. A pattern appears to be emerging here. Please clarify.
    A clue ... Brass Monkey country.

    ALSO ....

    Central Otago Rail Trail Country.

    Also ...

    A historic shop.


    So ... some days 30 ... some days 300 ... I fail to see a pattern.

    You were probably still trying to work out the quad bike/spraytank problem Kiwi Cowboy posted about recently, but I got the info I needed earlier in this thread.

    You could try, but she's an extremely clever woman who spends all day putting men that think they're special in their place, so you'd come off second best

    Yeah, my wife gets this at the medical center. She is an expert at making abusive people feel really small. That is why I obey her.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    As i said before 99% are good and will happly wait if there doesnt happen to be what they want but why should she take the shit that the 1% think is there right to dish out just because they can.

    Your wife needs to tell abusive people to "get fucked cunt" ....... easy peasy
    starting a thread on Kiwibiker is not going to change attitudes. I personally always use my Ps & Qs as a customer, unless the person serving me is a cunt and then I revert to the earlier quote.

    People crying for pies want to HTFU and sorry mate, but so do you & the wife there will always be rude fuckers out there - don't allow them to affect your whole day. tell them get fucked and move on!

    Your profit margins should be over 200%

    Your right you are completely unexperienced - 200% profit margin on food - made me fall off my seat laughing. Have you brought mince or cheese or pastry lately. who pays the wages, the rent, the insurance, the electricity, the food license of over $600 per year, the rates etc etc etc etc

    Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.
