Minutes ago, my doorbell rang. Upon opening the door, there was this young teenager with a styrofoam box on a trolley selling blocks of ice cream. Nice chap, he intro himself saying he's selling ice cream to earn some pocket money during the school holidays. What brand of ice cream is that and how much is it per carton I asked him, reaching for my wallet ... intending to help him. Evergreen ...... $15 WHAT?? My eyes almost popping out. I'm sorry but that's way too expensive and it's not even Walls or Meadow Gold. I had a piece of advice for him and that was to quit this part time job. I think the company is up to no good. Conning youngsters to run round the neighborhood lugging huge heavy styrofoam boxes and pay them measly commission. $15 ... actual cost of ice cream maybe only $2-$3 (charpalang brand) ..... commission per box $2 and these con men company taking in $10 profit for every box sold? If my memory did not fail me, 10-15 years ago I encountered this door to door sale of ice cream by teenagers. That time out of pity bought one box for $15(?) and it turns out ice cream was damn awful, powdery kind of half melted flavoured ice and milk concoction. I knew too late I was cheated, not by the youngsters but by the company or persons employing them. Just now at the door there was a flashback and regretfully I had to turn the boy away empty handed. I may have paid for it if I was working but I have been lobo-ing at home for the past 2.5 years. I'M SORRY 😔😐
