Most businesses need a few years to recoup from the initial capital
investment needed to start them. I would think that Mr. Salmon is
quite aware of his understaffing problem, and given the
circumnstances, he would hire more staff in a heartbeat.

However, the Bus Depot has only been in business for how long? I'm
sure that Ron Salmon sweats his payroll as it is, no matter how good
business is doing.

Yes, the consumer is inconvenienced- I have yet to order from the BD
because I passed in favor of going to my FLAPS to get some parts. When
I know EXACTLY what I want, and have a flexible time base to work with
regarding this part, sure, I will order there, just to check it out.

As it stands, though, I can't hold anything against them. I don't
think they enjoy being swamped like they are.

Best regards,
Sam
