On a Sunday, the register was closed and thought to be correct. On Monday morning, the money was counted and was short about $50 cash. They could not find the mistake in the paperwork. They want the workers to pay the money into the drawer from their own pockets. I think this is wrong and probably illegal, but I need some proof. Multiple people use the same drawer. There are no cameras. There is no safe.

I own a coffee shop/bar that is opened 24hours. I just found out that an ex-employee is opening up the same business less then 2 miles from my business. The same menu, coffee, chai, even the same paint color on the walls. The only difference is the name. What would you do?

I'm starting a comic studio and one of the ideas I had was to advertise an offer from another store based on a sale at my store. Example: If they buy something from my store, then they get a 5% off coupon that goes towards there next purchase at "such and such" if they buy a product from my store. How would I go about setting this up?

Today India is producing business minds in mass numbers. Hovever , a large pie of this portion is contributed by those aggressive teens , who face the barrier of being born in a middle class family . Ideas which might change the way India looks , ideas which may catapult India to become a superpower , are all shattered due to hurdles .

How would these upcoming people be helped with their ideas which might change generations to come ?

I want to supplement my income, but I do not want to waste my time, which is precious. I have 3 kids and work full time. I have a friend trying to get me to sell Mary kay with her, but if there is something out there that I can make more money doing, I'm all ears. I am not a big sales person, I am not pushy and refuse to have to do any marketing other than word of mouth, and product reputation. I am also not limited to any particular product type, i.e. skin care/make-up.
I am also not looking for solicitations. DO NOT TRY TO RECRUIT ME! I want an honest opinion of products, organizations, and profits so that I can decide what company I would like to work with. Thanks!!!

I purchased an Item off of Ebay the Auction listed NIB and Never been opened. When I received the item it was obviously opened, none of the wires had the twist ties and all the seals on the bags were broken. I purchased it using the BIN price and there were others that had the same price I just picked one. I paid $100 over retail and I'm upset about it and don't know what to do. I'm just looking for some advice. It does seem to be in good condition I’m just upset that I was lied too. It just doesn't seem right. Oh and it was supposed to come with a receipt which it didn't.
