Speaking of utilities my gas bill is up 150% at y business. Nothing I can do about it.
I Just got off the phone with my trash pickup company………for my business….they raised my rate 23% this last month.
I was told it was all about fuel and basic inflation. I told them I was going to start shopping the little guys in the area (the company I use now is a huge National corp) and they transferred me to an account rep.
In the end I negotiated a new 3 yr deal at 5% increases the next 3 years as the max. 5% this year and 5% the 2 after that. You have to chase every damn penny when in business
