The next shoe drops: Steve tells me privately that he is moving back to his home state, and will be leaving the shop by Christmas.
I'm, like, not supposed to tell anybody - but I think you people are good people, and won't share.
His name's not Steve anyway. All the names in this thread have been changed to protect the guilty. Except me. You know me.
Steve was the closest to me, left at the shop; so until something bigger is announced, such as a closure, the thread will slow down even from the trickle it's at now.
It's possible this might bring the end. It's not easy to find a good person who can be trusted to work the shop. But with Steve leaving, the shop only has two people left.
Alan always said that insurance mandated two people be in the shop for it to be open. That makes total sense. But now he can't do his side real estate work without closing the shop for a while.
Either they hire someone else, or everything gets weird. It's already weird. Anyone need a cash job in ghetto north philly for six months? You wouldn't need to do much.
