Poll Should you discard good service to support fam/friends?

[Koltrain]

Say you know someone who's catered a few of your events and they do a good job consistently. Meanwhile you have a close family member or friend who's started a catering service. Do you switch and start using them to support their new enterprise? Do you stay loyal to your current service who's proven they can do the job? I've been in and seen this situation a few times.

Give the fam a chance one time. See what they got and decide from there.

Even if u dont go with them long term u gave them a shot to get some experience under they belt.

Better than nothin

You can never have to many options so I'd give my fam and/or friends a run.

Especially if I'm holding events like that

Never mix business wit family or pleasure

 

[Chi-Town B]

Nah fuck that, you stay with the sure thing.

Support both. There’s no limit to support

 

[DOS_patos]

You can support both but I don't think I'd mix family and business.

Let's say you have someone who does your taxes and a close friend starts doing taxes. If you switch to use your friends service, how do u support both?

 

[Koltrain]

Meaning you wouldn't use your family's business Or service?

It depends on the service, the info released and the family member.


When you said taxes....that would be a no. I would never let anyone in my family know what I make.

Catering and other things...I may give them a chance if they was hella responsible with a strong work ethic.

If they had a store....I'm there all day everyday.

A service is a slippery slope.

Switch every year.

 

[Koltrain]

Switch every year.

Seems like a hassle. Just to be loyal to both?

You saying you wouldn't support your people's business?

I'll send them some clients but I am not getting involved with it. I ain't never mixing money with family business

One bad business decision and they ready to blame you, two bad business decisions and they coming for your head

You have a point...but I'm speaking of a supermarket bodega type thing.

But I will be the first to say mixing money and fam ain't good.

Once hard times come and you need help and those that you supported don't help out.....bad things

Stores make bad business decisions all of the time... family operated ones especially, someone is always looking to blame someone

 

[Duwop]

I value convenience over all ....


No fucks given.

At the end of the day, I'm still a customer, you want my support, make that shit work for me.

 

[Sam Crooke]

This kinda like saying support black owned businesses ventures blah blah

 

[AZTG]

Im supporting friends and family and giving them a chance to fuck up.

If ima spend the money on a service anyway I rather that money goes to strengthen a family member/friend.

If they fuck up, I stop using them.
