Let's update you guys.

[@torahime19]

For all the hate donut is getting lately, it's refreshing to hear they're standing by Sandro through this.

[@littlefreak3000]

I didn't think it was hate. Really just that donut changed direction from what its origins were and it happens so people just wanna do their own thing and go back to their roots. All the people who left seem to have done so without any issues or any kind of harsh feelings.

[@unitedhybrid187]

They're part of a mega corporation. They have the money to build Sandro his own big shop from the ground up. It's toilet paper money for them.

[@HazyTrails]

True!

[@steeljawX]

@@littlefreak3000 They grew up and not in the good way. They started off as the "teenager/young adult" kind of channel of, "Let's just try it and see what happens." Now they've put on a bit of a suit and tie and are clocking into a 9-5 it feels like. Not the direction any of us would have liked it to have gone, but that's kind of what's happened. They've been chained down and domesticated and now all the ideas are coming from money holders who have no idea how to make a successful online channel. I'd argue, kind of, that James left with harsh feelings. Not antagonistic or hostile feelings, but he did admit he was very outspoken against the new managements decisions and wasn't in videos near the end of his time there. If I had to clarify it, I'd say James left with bitter feelings towards the new management and the company that bought out Donut, not at Donut itself; if that makes sense. He takes issue with certain entities and people at and around Donut, not the actual whole sum entity that Donut is within itself.

[@jormungand72]

@@unitedhybrid187 its not about building a new place, its about keeping your old place. the place you grew up, the place where you created countless memories. its like if you favorite pet just died and someone tells you "oh? just get a new one".

3 days is obscene, in australia the property owner must give a month for residential leases, let alone a workshop with heavy machinery. I feel for you man, it's not moral the way they've treated you.

[@amarured]

That's what I was thinking. 3 Days is INSANE! We had a similar Situation with our shop 4 years ago, and they gave us 6 Months. And istg even that was hard because of a) the Inventory and Machines and b) we had to find a space suitable for a shop within the time. BUT 3 DAYS!? THAT AIN'T RIGHT!

[@mattiaswesterlund1962]

Same here in Sweden one month is absolute minimum

[@amorton94]

But if someone was living there they could just squat for pretty much indefinitely.

[@aj383]

Unfortunately, 72 hours is very common in many parts of the US, and, unless you have legal counsel and a VERY strong case, it rarely works out for the tenant if it goes to court.

[@fartmachine5000]

it sounds like it was more like 2.5 days.

[@Qb3nsis]

Huge respect to Sandro with how he's dealing with this tragedy. He's a great role model.

[@amarured]

They didn't paint over your Grandmas Mural!! Honestly, I think despite all of this, I think that's pretty amazing. BECAUSE I bet they got told to paint ALL OF IT, but then the guys on site decided 'that's not right' and left the mural untouched.

[@schwuzi]

That's what I'm thinking.

[@flaviusfake271]

Me too I couldn't paint over that if I was asked to do that job it ain't right so disrespectful and inconsiderate

[@waknbakn420]

The fact that they didn't touch Grandma's memorial shows they might be up to you getting it, i hope they do.

[@DephnikOfficialDj]

Unfortunately.. they might have just left it because of their beliefs. If they are catholic/christian they would rather respect the dead as much as they can while keeping "professional"

[@babiesinthe80s]

Look, I'm not saying they didn't. But it is entirely possible that whomever they paid to do the job was actually the ones who refused to cross the line. I can't imagine corporate minded people actually going down to the spot to do the work themselves.

[@waknbakn420]

@@babiesinthe80s really they probably left it so the neighborhood didn't get pissed, kind of like the Rick and Morty wall.

[@neverending774]

Seems like it is hard to communicate well with them. Stuff like this should've been talked to before. But given they're just trying to catapult him out they clearly don't like him it appears even as he seemed to be a decent renter.

[@ScytheNoire]

Nah, they probably hired someone else to do the work, and those people knew what it was and weren't going to mess with it. The people who own it don't give a damn and will destroy it first chance they get.

[@stefa4013]

I'm so glad they have respected the mural so far. I hope you guys either get to keep it there or are allowed to remove it yourself and take it with you. Stay strong bro and keep us updated.

[@schwuzi]

I have a feeling the painters respected it, not the property owners. No way I would paint over a mural.

[@wolfoftheages]

​@schwuzi That's what I was thinking, too. The owners might even be pissed that the painters didn't paint over it, but they're probably having a hard time finding a painter that will. Hopefully, they've got enough suits in their cushy corporate office with just enough brain cells to rub together to realize "hey, if no painter is willing to paint over these, maybe there's a reason and we should reach out to that dude we kicked out." Best case scenarios: 1) The owners are the ones who said don't paint over it and are willing to work with Sandro. 2) The painters respected it, but the owners are gonna let them take it free of charge. 3) Same as the second, except they make them fix the wall or something. 4) The painters respected it, but the owners will let it stay there (in which case, GET A LAWYER AND GET THAT SHIT IN WRITING SANDRO!) No other option is acceptable except for the unlikely case that the owners carefully remove it (as in, separate it from the wall entirely in one piece) themselves to bring to Sandro.

Sad. I feel with you and it awakes really bad memories on the shop I worked. It was the same thing. The shop opened 1908 (!) and closed 1999 because a mistake in a contract. I was fired a day before Christmas. We were auto electricians (We repaired all electrical parts of a car: starter, alternator, wirings, lights everything you just change today). Today I am musician and I repair electric guitars and some times I am helping out at a garage. You will go your way because you are a good man, you have the experience and you are authentic, bro. Wish you all the best!

I'm right there with you, bud. My dad and I had an automotive machine shop and it was my family's whole life and we went through a tough time and made some bad decisions and lost it. I know that is different from your experience and I can't imagine how bad this feels, but I can relate a little. Years later my dad and I broke out some equipment to do some head work and bore a block. People found out and started coming to us wanting us to do work for them and now we are considering starting over. I never imagined that would be a possibility. Hang in there, bud.
