So my brother wakes me up this morning by throwing a pipe jacket at the front door of my house (he does remodeling). A few hours later I'm out running some errands and I see a tire shop I haven't hit up yet. I pull in, put on my best smile and ask about ww. The lady behind the front counter grumbles about everyone asking her for weights. She tells me she has about 2 buckets. I offer her 10 bucks. She says you can have them, but I'm keeping my buckets. No problem!As per a few tips on this fine forum, I am never without a spare 5 gallon bucket in the back of my truck.
One the way back through town, I drop off a dozen donuts and my number. She's shocked and we chat a little more before I leave. As I pull out, I see one of the garage guys munching a donut while writing my number on their bucket in large numerals. Success!35078

Doughnuts may not cost alot, but people in business appreciate the thought.

I use hot pizza at lunch time. Never saw a tire guy that didn't enjoy free pizza.
Pizza is close while donuts are 9 miles away.

Good job Sarge. It seems the only way we are going to get WW now is by trying the small shops.
