i need a job and this hair isnt up to standards unless its a cannabis job. I am shying away from those because it will feel bad to be a wook instead of the boss. I think other industries are more profitable= like cars.

i need wind chimes and gnomes- i only have a few more months in this house.
I got a simple but useful move to improve margins at a facility⌠(important going forward these days)
For years Uline delivered affordable bags of gloves. So I didnât question it⌠but when covid kicked in full bore and gloves got scarce⌠Uline throttled my ordering capabilities quite a bit. All of a sudden I was buying medium black nitrites(couldnât get L/XlâŚ) for like $32 for a 50 pack. @retail pricing.
Ended up realizing my team was was going through⌠5,10,15âŚfuckloads pairs of gloves per shift each.
There were certain jobs that were just inevitably going to be a sticky fucking mess requiring frequent swap outs.
Well. We still boughy high quality latex and nitrile gloves⌠but also purchased food service plastic gloves from a restaurant distributor. The ones that have no elasticity⌠well. They cost virtually nothing. Something like 10k gloves for $130.
Whenever possible I had thr crew where thr foodservice gloves over their nitriles. And told them to swap out the food service gloves wheneveeeeer they wanted.
It actually worked out well for us.

me personally= i must be super small scale. I get upset when wooks somehow have 10x as much hand hash than me= they are disrespectinng it. I only hold it by stems and shit. My one wook wipes the resin across his shirt whil im telling him we are having him gget dry ice to be discreet so i dont get it all the time???
That saves so much just having them not tossed constantly. Things like that matter when even a parchment load is a rack atleast

I stock two thicknesses of nitrile gloves for this reason. Thin ones most of the time. Thick ones for the heavy stuff. I also sourced a different place that is about $20/case cheaper.
make bho- disty is sterile and lame.

If dude is gonna pay for distillate, make distillate.
âThe customer is always rightâ means one thing, and one thing only, cater to what your customer will put up money for.
Youâre in this to make money, not to take some pseudomoral stance on what extract is best.

This here I feel needs to go away. the customer is not always right. Expectations of a customer should be normal and not outrageous. I think giving the population the idea of being right and a company âowes themâ has caused so many issues.
sorry end rant

Check out ur local hydro store, they might have some unmarked gloves for cheaper, i bought a whole box of them (25 boxes of 100) for like $125.
They were the same quality as the brand they normally have the only difference was that the big box was the only thing branded or marked. The glove boxes were just plain white.
They had a sign saying only 1 box per customer, they meant the glove box of 100. So my smartass was like well the box of 25 is ONE box, can i get that?

You really missed the point. The only meaning of that phrase is the customer is your customer, so have shit they want to buy.
Your own personal grievance with the phrase are with those that use it incorrectly.
Customer demand pays your bills.

After an exhaustive search over many years, I found the best spatula/scraper. I think these have probably saved me 10 grand/year in recovered residue.
Theyâre hard to track down, but when you find them in stock, buy 10. Theyâre extremely thin and rigid, so go easy on heat (donât directly blast them with a heat gun, but theyâre fine with anything under 100C.

you can tell when someone has done a lot of work in the space when they realllly see the value in tips/tricks like this. The running joke in our spot as we threw away gloves covered in badders or sticky ass oil was always some variation of âeast coast kids are cryingâ. True retail customers would be awestruck by teh amount of waste thatâs just not cost effective to recover. Edges of jars, couple grams of sticky terpy badder/crumble on the parchment⌠etc.
The other day a friend came by with 100+ poounds of his left overs⌠batches that didnât sell. nucleated slabs, sugared slabs, allll these jars of HTF from several years ago when people didnât want terps as much as diamonds in their jars. (for a while⌠it was like 90% diamonds 10% terps. leaving a lot of leftover terp fractions).
we set up a dozen heat plates and were mixing and matching to turn it all into one uniform batch of badder to give to a bulk customer. and kept losing a couple grams hereâŚcouple grams there to super stable slabs shattering, drill overspray, etc. and âthe east coast kids were cryingâ came up a bunch.

I always used rainy day buckets, gloves, paper towels, old carts went in 200 proof. Everyone was shocked by how many extra litters a month would add up.

I tried lots of shit⌠In fact. I fucking bought my first rotovap thinking I could soak a shitload of sticky parchment in everclear and then recover the everclear⌠But ended up dissolving all the parchment.
How long did it take the gloves to break down in alcohol?
I tried to save all the sticky sheets and have people scrape them in their downtime. A lot of times⌠from our crumble sheets⌠where the terp layer would sink to the bottom⌠iti would be 5-10g a sheet.
fucking workers hated that though. Threw them away every chance they got.
