Always good to know that customer concerns are being taken to heart.

The evolution of a business in terms of equipment investment is fascinating. There comes a point where you just have to get that piece of equipment to make your life easier and make processes more efficient and more reliable.

this was a GREAT commercial.. interactive.. and it made me watch it twice.. the second time to determine the product name and then google it.. this was just a big ole commercial, but Brilliantly done..!

The label roller is a game changer. I worked for a small business and trying to put the labels on perfectly straight every time was a pain

This is nice to see. Someone who actually shows you their business and what they do instead of advertising their mentorship to help you make money

I find it very interesting to see the labels being rolled on manually. That brings home the "small business" part

[NutzBdragon]

It brings me joy to see family owned family ran business. Wish your family the best

Love the Allan keys are tapped on the side of the label roller

I was the guy at my last job who had to make sure the correct amount of product was going into the containers AND the guy who had to make sure the labeling machine was working it wasn't this easy lol.

The filling machine rotated, filling 15 containers nonstop. 50, 000 to 80, 000 containers a day.

The labeling machine put a label on the front and back of the container, and they had to be perfectly aligned.

It was such a headache. The equipment was subpar and broke down frequently. We lost over $200 for every minute of downtime. I wasn't even a mechanic. Just an employee who paid a little too much attention when maintenance personnel worked on the machines. The boss eventually realized that I knew how to repair the machines as well as the maintenance guys did, so instead of waiting for maintenance, I would be asked to do the job. It required constant monitoring. So I slowly went from slaving on the line with my coworkers, to mostly just standing around and doing nothing but watching the machines run. And even though I didn't help my coworkers as much as I did earlier, I still made an effort to make their jobs as easy as I could by tweaking every spot on the production line.

After 9 years of keeping the product flowing, one of the snarky upper-management guys told me that I hadn't contributed anything valuable to the company. I walked out the door and never went back. When I left, so did several other employees. The machines quickly began breaking down, and they began losing tens of thousands of dollars 😂😂😂. Do I feel bad for their misfortune? HELL NO. The only thing I felt bad about was that my coworkers said that after I left, it wasn't the same place anymore. They were constantly down, which caused a lot arguing and bad attitudes. They had to work overtime in order to keep from falling behind. A lot of people ended up leaving.

Who's fault is it? Upper-management. Did they deserve what they got? YES. Did it feel good to know that my absence had such a detrimental effect on that particular company? It felt amazing.

Treat employees with the respect they deserve. They're the blood of the company. Without them, the company will suffer.

I love how he said they had some bad reviews about it and then said thats why he bought the machine. Way to listen and grow!
