Well, at least they paid on the 29th day. We have several customers who demand terms but they pay whenever they want. One VERY well-known customer would pay around 45 days and still take a 2% discount. We have another long time customer who refuse to acknowledge that we’ve changed their Net 60 terms to Net 30. And this customer ALWAYS mail their check to the wrong location.
We’re in the process of cutting off customers until their accounts are up-to-date.

The sad thing is, here in Germany the supermarket shelves are getting pretty bare in the flour and oil sections. Enough that supermarkets are rationing how much you can buy.

What’s happened to our world?
That Sara Lee on the top shelf? I used to get it for 75 cents a loaf at the bakery outlet, but they closed during the pandemic and never reopened. I see the regular price there is 3.99 now. On sale at half-price, I would buy all of it, because it freezes well.
