fun fact, businesses operate without power by using battery operated calculators and inventory pads.

every minute a business isn’t in operation is a cost to the business.

I worked at Super Walmart decades ago. power went out for the whole town. the main HV lines collapsed after a tornado.

mgmt marked all the ice cream down 80% and we were still checking customers out on generators.

reduce risk, increase profits, mitigate losses. the only bad opportunity is the one you ignore.

by god we sold almost every tub of ice cream in an hour.
