   Yes, the profit on the laptop was minimal, but the extended warranty considerably boosted profits, as well as provided bonuses for management. They had a folding table setup at the front of the store w/ a PC running Excel, and every 15

   Not a fan. Used to work there during college. If we didn’t sell enough PSPs (extended warranties), we were not allowed to leave at our scheduled time. Also, we moved all the laptop inventory to the back of the store, so if a customer wanted

    My company’s mobile app is made in react native. As a senior dev., I still use an iPhone SE, but the mobile dev team all have the latest iPhones. The app looks horrible on the SE, and some touch areas are blocked by overlapping text or imag

    So, is a hypothetical scenario, an employee that is their own supervisor?

    That is still a two-party transaction. It is when a third party is involved, that gets you in trouble.

    Well, until they coordinate to change laws at the state and federal laws, facilitating real estate transactions as a non-realtor will expose such individuals to legal action. Kinda like Tesla trying to sell in states that require a franchis
