The only one Ms. Robbie can trust to run the business is Tim, everyone else is iffy. That's why she has to be there daily. #SweetiePies

I've been a Sweetie Pie's fan since it's debut. Ms. Robbie Montgomery started Sweetie Pie's restaurant after her singing career ended because of a collapsed lung. As a business owner, no one will be as passionate about your business as you, so you have to be there daily. Sure, you can hire folks to help you run the business, but it's not the same as being an owner. The owner had a vision for their business, and they made it happen. Ms. Robbie has been running Sweetie Pie's for decades, and as she continues getting older, she hints around retirement. She deserves to relax because she's worked her whole life to get where she's at, and now it's time for her to enjoy her golden years. There's only one problem: She can't retire because management is at each other's throats, and the employees clown around a little too much for my taste. As an owner/operator, you should be able to trust your employees to do their jobs in your absence; after all, that's why they were hired, to do a job. The only one Ms. Robbie can trust to run the business is Tim, everyone else is iffy which explains why Ms. Robbie has to be there daily. Being her son, Tim is committed to the family business and has come up with great ideas for expanding the family business, including opening restaurants in different locations. I can't see Ms. Robbie leaving the restaurant in any of the other employees' hands, because they would destroy what Ms. Robbie worked so hard to build. Hopefully, Ms. Robbie can get away for a few weeks with no worries as to how her business is going, because she deserves a break.
