Cutting out coffee and donuts on your dime!
I stopped by the local QT on Wednesday and as usual the best run convenience store known to man was doing great business. Every pump was taken and customers were having to make places to park. I noticed a number of our clients and felt a bit of pride!
The next day I went back and saw many of the same vehicles-including my clients. Most of the vehicles were parked in the front of the store and not the pump. My bet is that these guys were there to fill up on caffeine and donuts- not gas.
I wanted to see how prevalent this was so I went back to the office and ran the new Location Report for a couple of my clients at that stores address. I entered the address and the date range and sure enough one client had five vehicles that pulled in to that store every day! Some of the vehicles would actually sit and idle there for more than 15 minutes. The store wasn’t anywhere near any the clients office’s so these guys were going out of their way to get to there.
Our clients tell us it costs us much as $60 an hour to operate a vehicle (wages, taxes, fuel, benefits, etc.). Just cutting out
coffee and donuts on your dime could save as much$2400 a year per offender!
