I almost got roped into working for those Rainbow guys. Was broke and needed a job bad so I attended their 2 hour demo, red flags went off in my head when they told me I was hired without making me sign an I-9 form or presenting any sort of identification and never came back

quote:I was at a bridal show and signed up to win an air cleaner. I was contacted that I won the air cleaner then was asked for an appointment to show me a vacuum cleaner. I was given the same pitch that I had in the old days when I purchased a Kirby Vacuum in the 1980s. It sat in my closet for years until I threw it away. This Rainbow was $2,500 and I am stuck paying $75 per month until I pay it off. I have used the vacuum once. It is difficult to use and all the parts are too many and no one understands how to use this machine. Please don't be a sucker like me. Read these reviews before buying one of these.

Way back around 2002 or so, I used to sell Kirby vacuums. It honestly wasn't that bad a job if you weren't a total scumbag. I would pay $1000 for the vacuum (later 750 as I moved up the ladder) (sounds like they charge a bit more now or salespeople are just greedy) so anything I sold it above that was pretty much pure profit. Every 3 I sold a week would net a $250 bonus from my boss, so it actually worked out pretty well for a guy in the midwest. I ended up getting a free one at our xmas party the first year, and kept it all the way until 2014 when I got the Shark Navigator which no joke is probably the best vacuum on the planet for the money. The next year wasn't so great for us though... mostly because my bosses wife had her kids kill him for the insurance money. "CROWN POINT | The wife of murdered Merrillville businessman John Parker Jr. first tried lacing his food with an illicit drug. All he got was what he thought was food poisoning. Judy Parker also tried to hire hit men, but they either got cold feet or simply took the money and ran. Finally, the 40-year-old woman recruited two of her own children to kill their stepfather. She succeeded April 17, 2003, when her son, Daniel Lee Hicks, shot the 33-year-old Merrillville businessman in the back of the head in an ambush outside J&J Parker Industries, 8892 Louisiana St. in Merrillville, a corporate sales and service operator for Kirby Vacuum Corp., where he trained sales people." https://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com...ill-him-failed/ edit: There was a chain of command structure at Kirby that I just remembered. If you were absolute bottom of the barrel and had no crew working under you at all, I believe the vacuums cost like $1250 or something, I can't remember, so that was the price point those salesmen had to hit to make a successful sale. warcraft_boyfriend_99 fucked around with this message at 11:11 on Jul 28, 2016 |

She's saying that the salesmen put some sort of dirt packs in the nozzles to make it appear that the vacuums were picking up more than they actually were and that her husband pulled whatever it was out of the nozzle. It's all pretty clear if you read it in a boisterous black lady voice.

Why the gently caress would you ever buy a vacuum over $100 Does it do conference calls or have VR capability as well for that $3K? If you're that stupid to buy a $3K vacuum maybe just buy a large plastic sheet you can cover all your stuff with while you drag all your poo poo all over the place

I don't see how a vacuum can lose suction if you replace the filter sometimes. There's a fan somewhere that wears out ?

I paid ~20$ for my vacuum cleaner(it was on sale), is the Kirby any better? I like my vacuum and it served me well over the years. Also, you can totally stick your dick into a vacuum cleaner. There should be a fan somewhere inside the tube, which is what's chopping people's dick off in all those horror stories. To get around that problem take a pencil about the same length as your erected(!) dick and insert it into the VC tube, if you don't hit a fan your are fine to put you dick inside. Have fun!

when i was growing up my house had a central vacuum system running through it so you just plug a big hose into the vacuum socket and it worked - no spinning blades or anything to worry about. suction wasn't insane so my dick wasn't gonna get degloved either. just didn't feel good.

A vacuum cleaner salesman tried to scam me the other day. When I opened the door he burst in and threw a bag of dirt all over my floor and proclaimed "If my vacuum cleaner can't suck up all this filth, I will eat the dirt with a spoon!" I turned around and started walking towards my kitchen, to which he asked "Where are you going?" I said "I am going to get a spoon. I didn't pay my electric bill and my power has been shut off." simple fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jul 28, 2016 |

My girlfriend has a big family and a few of them are into numerous MLM's. They're the type of people who do well at them since they're willing to prey on their own family in order to make dozens of dollars. Early in our relationship my girlfriend was constantly broke after visiting her sister, aunt, or cousin, but we always had lots of spices, soap, and plastic dishes. Eventually I realized that I didn't really have to be that nice to her family, and just started telling them "No." when they started their spiels, and my girlfriend got better at blaming me for not doing things her family wanted her to do. This has slowly extended to me just telling people "No." and asserting myself in all kinds of situations where you aren't really expected to. Anyway, I knew a guy who briefly did door-to-door vacuum sales. His favorite part was talking to old people and getting to have cigarette breaks if he finished his route or whatever early. He eventually quit and was unemployed for a while and just chatted with his older neighbors and smoked cigarettes all day.

I worked for Rainbow vacuum cleaners in 2000 doing telemarketing. We would put up boxes in restaurants with pictures of a car that we were "giving away." People would register to win the car, but i would call and tell them about a vacation package they won. All they needed to do was have someone show them a vacuum cleaner and they would get 3 days 2 nights at a resort hotel of their choosing. What they did not know is it was a high pressure sales to buy the Rainbow. The vacation package was to go listen to people talk about time shares. I do not think anyone ever won the car.

I sat through a 3 hour Kirby vacuum seminar one time. I had just moved to a new state and needed a job, and this was advertised as a warehouse position. I hadn't actually ever heard of kirby at the time, and it was this huge secret of what everyone was there for, and it ended up being one of the most scummy things I've ever witnessed. After about 20 minutes of refusing to answer any questions and telling everyone he "Worked for Rupert Murdoch, a Billionaire. Who has billions of dollars. And owns a company that owns his company. He has billions you know. Because he is such a good businessman. I'm his representative here today" he dramatically reveals the Kirby signage. To the shock of most of the people who had no idea what the gently caress that was, six people got up and stormed straight out. The guy launches into a 15 minute speech basically saying. "See? Those people are so close minded they won't even consider an opportunity. They immediately give up. Are you going to give up like that? Because you will get nowhere in life if you just throw up your hands and walk out at every opportunity" over the next hour more people kept leaving, each time the guy yelling after them snide remarks, he even picked a couple unhappy looking people and berated them for not being enthusiastic (They ended up staying to the end) He did the baking soda trick where some random rear end vacuum picks up none of the baking soda, but the Kirby just sucks it all up, impressing most of the remaining people. By the end of it he had a few 18-20 year olds convincing themselves this was the greatest business opportunity of a life time while the guy is "See? See how this opportunity is so great? People refuse to listen to the information. He called each of the 25 people after the seminar and would berate you over the phone making you say "Yes, I want Opportunity" or "I don't need opportunities in life" at that point I just hung up on him and after googling the company had to convince my friend to not show up the next day because even though they promise 1) A company car 2) appointments set up for you so that you are just demonstrating for people already interested (Because so many people want the vacuums we need salesmen!!) They just loaded you up in a dirty van and would drop you out in random neighborhoods all over the city every day. Holding these seminars weekly to find new rubes to carry around vacuums. Edit: Also for everyone just saying "Tell them to go away, how hard is that, god  " the guy was teaching people with role-play and literally advised people to stick their foots in doors, or fake emergencies or whatever they had to to actually get into a house, because "once you are in the house you are almost guaranteed to get through your sales pitch."

my parents bought a kirby out of the warehouse or something 30 years ago for like $1500 and it still works better than any other vacuum if something dinky on it breaks, like a plastic piece, they've always sent us a replacement piece for free they're easy to fix yourself and most authorized repair places will show you how to fix it if you don't know how because these things never break and it's easier to just teach people if they do they are great vacuums and carpet shampooers you can avoid the "sales" team

GRANNYS PEACH TEA posted:
Counterpoint: When I was housesitting for my brother in Tacoma, someone knocked on the door and ducked to the side where I couldn't see him through the peephole. I was expecting a package from Amazon that day so I figured the mailman had knocked and left it on the welcome mat. Imagine my surprise when I opened the door and some scrawny guy with meth scars all over his face forces himself in the crack of the door, turns to the parking lot and yells "I got one!" then steps in ranting a thousand words a minute about how it was my lucky day. Did I drop away from the door and grab my purse/gun? You bet. Even after I chased him out at gunpoint, he and his driver/supervisor stood outside banging on the door and yelling until I called the cops. Not sure how true it is, but the officer who chased them off told me that the people who get hired are either naive kids or unemployable druggies and felons, and they get plenty of calls for door to door salespeople stealing, a decent amount for intimidating or beating up elderly people, and an occasional rape.
