You can learn so much about the world by looking at things from different angles. When we were running our family business, we learned so much from communicating with vendors, Hotel Bar Supplies companies and government agencies. Simply being in the postition to hire and fire employees showed us a different side of human nature. We had no idea how much of a worker's wages went into paying taxes, for example and how the employee's paycheck represented sometimes less than half of what they were actually costing us.
Well, recently we were staying at a hotel and we saw that they had dispensers for their shampoo and conditioner. It was a rather upscale venue and we were looking forward to taking home little souvenir bottles of shampoo and conditioner because we wanted to enjoy them in our big bathtub. That led to a great discussion whereby we discussed the costs of things (both financially and environmentally) and we ended up googling for Hotel Supply Online where we found an Atlanta Hotel Supply company that gave us some new insight into how the world of hotel supplies works. We were surprised and now my kids have learned so much more than they would have if we were just blindly stumbling through our days. Yayyy for homeschooling.
