I'm in need of some help here, I work at a Lube shop that has several locations, and its pretty much just me and the manager that work there 8am - 6pm every day, monday - saturday. I make roughly 350 a week, and he brings home around 525. He didn't become manager until a few months ago, and I've noticed that Him and I make a great team. I'm 20, and hes 23, so were both in the same generation, so we get along great. We were sitting around one day, after making a shit ton of sales that day, and I was telling him, I wonder how much we make this shop. We tallied up everything, and it turned out, that month after labor, taxed, and products, we made that location $30k, so why are we getting paid so little to make money, My question here is, how could we start a business changing oil? What are the first steps? Please help!
