lowcountry Dan Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hi everyone, I mentioned some time back that I was interested in working for a vendor part time. I used to work for a guy who has cigarette machines and that was OK, until the work dried up. I thought, why not try someone else? I interviewed with a vendor today and it was strange. It went from part time work to possible full time work. I can't commit to that while I am trying to build my business. I need the work, but I don't think I am going to be what they want. They sell drinks and snacks. I saw one of their machines on my route today and it had 17 empty slots on their snack machine. The whole experience just makes me want to buckle down and do better. My goal is to work for myself. I don't want to be hired part time and be pressured to go full time. It might be different if the pay was good. Anyway, I am always looking and always learning. lowcountry Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedvender Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 You could take this job and run the route like you want to run your company and see what happens with it. I don't know what you have out for equipment but Doing the job is the best experience for any business you want to get into. Help you learn some of the in and outs quicker. What you would do to improve things and how to deal with problems when they arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowcountry Dan Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 It has become rather complicated, because they want me to sign a non compete letter. I don't know about this one. I have a feeling I'm barking up the wrong tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedvender Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Then I wouldn't do it. IF you live in a right to work state it is awful hard to enforce it. It can still be a hassle to deal with though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
