RikaKazak Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Just landed a pizza location 1 month ago. Placed a balloon buster and so far the numbers are fine/good. The location was happy with how often I service the location, paid on time, machine looking good so asked me to buy some more (I share this account with another vendor, he does arcade games only). So I ordered a new rack, got a 5' spiral ready, ordered a change machine, and ordered a pirates chest. Got a call from the location today, and they're shutting the doors. Just wasn't profitable enough. Ughhhh . This wasn't a case of manager/owner miscommunication as I only ever spoke to the owner. Is this common? Such a pain to order things specifically by request of a location and even before they arrive the business is closing. Seems sort of inconsiderate. Is this just business owners being overly optimistic? How can you open a business and not even make it 6 weeks, just seems like poor planning. Sorry for the rant, but sometimes just feels good to get it out of a person's system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick505 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 A lot of times I feel the businesses think that the vending is going to solve their problem and help them keep the doors open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkochan Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Be glad that they called to notify you that they are going out of business. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncyBalls Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I had a business do this to me after paying Ronsidney for a new video game they just had to have. Show up with it 2 weeks later and no trespassing sign on door. I didn't mention that I gave them a free Beaver double head a month earlier because they wanted to vend candy and I didn't. They took it with them when they left. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BouncyBalls Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I was delivering video when I found out it was closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyfrog Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I've had the same thing happen. I think it's like Nick said, they're grabbing at straws trying to find a way to make money or attract people to their location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
