To close or not to close? - tanTALK

Teez · 01-30-2002, 04:41 PM

That is the question. We have gotten about 5 inches of snow today sence this morning and we are supposed to get up to 13 inches by tomorrow night. Is it ok to call customers that I have coming in tonight after 7:00 and rescedual for an earlier time or cancel and should I not close at all tomorrow.

Thanks for your input...

I'd cancle and close the next day.

6-10" of snow forcasted for the next two days here. We'll have all 3 locations open and will be busy especially if school is cancelled. People will stay home from work with their kids and have to take a break from them and come in to tan. High school kids will use it as an excuse to get their cars out and play in the snow.

When we have snow, our days stay busy but evening business falls off. We usually open regular hours but close early. Pam

There is snow here all the time. People come anyway if there car will start. Somtimes when its 35 degrees below zero there cars won't start if they dont plug them in.

I SAY..MAKE A CLEAR PATH TO THE FRONT DOOR.... AND WELCOME THEM IN WITH OPEN ARMS..
Each hurricane season the winds pick-up and the rains come full strength.. The neighbors board and tape up their windows and all the food stores run out of bottled water.. WE have a storm party.. We are busy those hours before the power fails.. I say make the money while you can.. Good Luck and stay warm!!!

I probably don't have any experience to speak on this matter, but we are in the south and if it snows a good bit we don't really have an option of opening or not. Our city streets close immediately.

We are not use to that type of weather nor do we have the equipment for that type of weather. Although, we slow down tremendously whenever it rains. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Since we are "full" of snow all winter it takes a lot for us to close as we are used to the bad weather! However, I have had to close 3 days this winter already, our city basically shut down and I didn't have any choice. I will usually leave it for awhile, if people are out and about but if it is dangerous for people to drive, then we close. Use your own judgment but if the weather is a lot worse than usual, I would close.
