Similar Stories to Ask Amy: Struggling Business Stretched By “asks” on Bing News

Dear Amy: I’m a business owner with a small retail store located in an affluent community. We rent our space and our staff includes family members who work for free so that we can keep the doors open. The shop is a labor of love, and it is a gathering place for community members. That said, business is very slow and we are struggling. The COVID years saw our complete shutdown (according to state mandates), and business at a complete standstill.
