Quoted from mrSATURN2012:Why would he be concerned with a $225 profit per month? Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. Move on and find another client.
This ^^ Pay attention to your gut feeling. If things don't seem right, move on. Just because an establishment is busy and appears to be doing well doesn't mean that they are. It doesn't matter if it's a mom & pop, franchise or cooperate location.
I hope it's not the case, but maybe the location has cashflow problems and is penny pinching. To keep a business afloat these days one needs to pay attention to their costs and profit margins and make ruthless decisions to stay afloat.
