I never thought about collecting my money from my machines on different days and at different times. Since reading this blog I realized that is a great idea because if you become too comfortable you can get careless and you do never know who could be watching. Thanks for the great security advice.
The gift basket you wrote about is a great idea. I took one to a place I was considering putting my new machine and it worked out great. I get to put my machine there and agreed to give the owner of the store very little in return. Thanks for the great advice once again!
