    Mutual benifit (3rd) leg

    From the time man walked the earth mutual benefit was essential for survival and so it is today, especially for business. From the time the first sharp stone was traded for a stick mutual benefit was the goal. Without it nothing happens.

    Today it seems profit and bottom line have largely replaced mutual benefit for the most part. Profit is of course, necessary. However their is a difference between fair profit and profiteering.

    We have all noticed over recent years some profits dwindle while others flourish. It is human nature to want more but it is immoral to take more at the cost of others in my opinion. In order to continue we need MUTUAL BENEFIT and I will ad my own code word FAIR. This means not loading your cans with sand, your cars with plastic or even a dousing with the hose. On the other end there is a 1% rule you don't declare 100 lbs of extruded dirty because of one missed screw or decide weather alum is cast or zink depending on the price of the day, it is or it isn't.

    For the seller you raise your profit through knowledge, proper sorting and making the yards job easier by doing a better job. Do this and talk to the owner if you don't get fair compensation go to some one who will give you that, it's your job.

    For the yard owner it is fair weights, fair grading, and fair pay.

    If the above rule doesn't prevail, sooner or later there will be no mutual benefit, no profit, and, no business.
