tooldini Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Got my first kick out today, I am kinda curious to see how this location did. Wondering if it was busy and thats why it got kicked. was only there a couple weeks. Good thing is I had some mania products in it that I will need for busy location once I run out They are sold out till June, thats what brand says. Kinda sucks but at least it was't in long and making killer cash then gets kicked out. It was a kick start loction so he should replace, but of couse that will take till probably Christmas LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesjmcgough Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Don't take it personal Tool. I got kicked out of a location today that was doing an average 6.5 TPD(2 heads) over the last 8 months. Owner is a nice guy and said I could leave it there for another couple of weeks. He even suggested he might know another business on the same block that may take it. Told me to check in with him next time I came to service. He has a young girl who closes up for him and I think the machines and base may have been too heavy for her to handle. Reason I did not take it away immediately is because this is one of those routes that I can service totally by bus, which I do occassionally just to cut expenses. Kind of hard to lug a two header and cast iron stand on a bus. Besides, I was tired, it was way to hot, and I wanted to drink beer at the soda bus stop while waiting on the bus.

Pura Vida If it's a challenge with weight, you may suggest a lighter machine. Is the location charity or commission? I've had some charity kick outs where I just begin talking about how they deserve something and I would like to pay them a commission. See if they will let me leave it there for a while, then when I come in I pay a commission and attempt to service & leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 That would really suck This location was very tight didn't have much room but it actually tucked away real nice were it wasn't in the way but if owner doesn't want it the it has to go.

JEREMYTINA Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 We've had a couple kick outs as well, it's no fun, but at least they called, instead of sticking you in the back room until the next service... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooldini Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I see what you are saying especially the profit margin. Not sure if I would have made $10 in gumballs or not. I know at another location with zoo mania that the kids keep dropping quarters to try and get the colored balls the location has single head machine. You may be right though wish I could stay there and run a test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
