I've never bought anything from the meat truck guy, but I have bought shrimp from the shrimp truck guy.

My sister got so many solar panel salespeople knocking on her door at all hours of the day that I bought her some “no soliciting” stickers for her front door, and two more for each side of the mailbox so they can clearly see them from either side of the street they walk up from. She even wrote in Sharpie “ESPECIALLY SOLAR PANEL SALESPEOPLE” on them lol.

I bought meat out of a car trunk once. Literally approached in a parking lot with, "Hey, you want to buy some meat?" I honestly thought I was going to be mugged or something. Guy tells me he has some great cuts in the trunk of his car... It was true! Two coolers fully iced down, and lots of nice cuts. I got some tri-tip and pork chops for about $15. And it was all good stuff. I have no idea if it was stolen or how he could sell it at those prices; but heck, I would totally go back to the trunk-meat guy again.

There was a guy who used to set up shop near the old blockbuster and sell meat out of a big van. He had a pop-up tent and everything. We got meat there once, it was just ok, not crazy quality. Probably just some local farmer or guy who broke into a local farmer's.

I like to open with “what the gently caress is this poo poo?”, which really lets them know they have absolutely no chance

One time in college my roomie let in a cable salesman, who talked at us for like 40 minutes (we were both too polite and awkward to ask him to leave), then noticed one of us went to film school b/c of some poo poo we had on the fridge and IMMEDIATELY pivoted to trying to get us to go to his son's stand-up comedy show

Nooner posted:you guys are for real buying meat out of guys trunks? Only once so far; but considering the price and quality I'd do it again. Just look at it like you would in grocery store. Look at the quality, etc. Price was excellent and yeah, it was probably stolen. Just gotta find a new trunk-meat dealer.

redshirt posted:Is it just me or is anyone coming to your door in a big apartment building an automatic no (look through the peep glass, quietly...)? Yeah. There's six units in my block, and very occasionally someone knocks at my door because one of the other units just buzzed a stranger in. Sometimes it's Jehovah people, sometimes Hello Fresh types. I love escorting them downstairs and outside.

as a young man i worked at the loblaw distribution center near where i lived. drove a forklift, picked orders, loaded trucks, etc., in a huge warehouse. big union shop obviously. the entire time i was there, about 10 months, there was a guy going thru the motions of being fired/being protected by the union. i guess he had been under investigation for a long time for stealing food, really high value stuff, like bricks of cheese, expensive cuts of meat, etc. he worked in the freezer so he wore a snowsuit and i guess thats how he was smuggling product out lol. the way they caught him was i guess he came in for OT one day. as his shift was ending, his supervisor was thanking everyone who came in for extra and shaking their hands. as the thief reached out to shake the bosses hand, two full racks of frozen ribs fell out of his snowsuit onto the ground lmao. he was taking the product and selling it at the farmers market on weekends

There's a group that comes through my neighborhood every 6 months or so offering to replace all your windows with energy-efficient windows. I stupidly answered the door one time, thinking it was something important, and basically told the guys I wasn't interested and shut the door on them. Like a week later I was at the grocery store and they'd set up a table there. As I walked past the one guy goes "oh too busy for us but not too busy for the grocery store?" like it was an insult or something.

The meat men everywhere huh? My neighbourhood meat man was like "we get the meat from the same supplier as Costco but we don't charge as much markup!". My brother, if you are trying to sell me meat out of your van, tell me it's the best meat in the world. I'm not going to buy the same meat I can buy at Costco from your van. I will gladly pay Costco's markup to not buy meat from a van.

When I was young there was a meat truck guy who used to come by. He was Harold the meat man. About two years ago I was visiting my parents and I answered the door when they weren't home and it was a guy who wanted to trim trees and it turned out it was Harold the meat man except now he was Harold the tree trimming man.
