Guy gave me his flyer. Lone Star Steaks from Texas or something. Seemed legit (almost like Omaha steaks) but the whole thing was odd. Anyone ever fall for this? My dad fell for it when I was a kid. The steaks were actuallt reallt great, even if we never reordered. At least the guy selling is just trying to make a living. |

Schwann's still comes to my neighborhood.
And sometimes it's the guy stealing from his employer, making scratch on the side from the coolers in his pickup after he reported the 1000lbs lost to "spoilage" from his truck driving job earlier that day. |

I would've bought a small amount to try first. For some reason, meat is really nasty here in the Carolinas. I have noticed this right away when I moved here from Arizona. The only meat I can eat can be found in EarthFare store that sell a lot of organic products. I always buy Australian grass fed meat. Regular mear in grocery stores tastes and smells nasty. To me it tastes like it's half spoiled and mixed with laundry detergent. Its that bad. There is something they do different with meat in this area. Maybe there is something different in what they feed the livestock. Chicken is different too. I can't eat it unless it's organic.
Has anyone who lives in Charlotte area ever noticed this about the local meat? |

My SO fell for that once, didn't do the math and just trusted the guy that it was a good deal (yeah, I know). Setting aside the fact that I wouldn't buy meat out of the back of someone random person's van, when I actually ran the numbers it came out to an average of over $12 a lb, and the bulk of it was hamburger. They claimed to have a no questions asked money back guarantee, plus by law when selling door to door there's a 3 day return window, but I still ended up having to dispute the charge with my credit card co. to reverse the deal. They finally came and picked the crap up, 3 months later but the guy was a total asshole about it.

Guy dropped by my house years ago. I told he I was busy, single 29 year old guy, who never cooks, and I wasn't interested.
He was an aggressive salesman, which I hate, and didn't take no for an answer. So I let him do his thing, walked out to his cooler, looked at all his stuff, asked a lot of questions about pricing, shelf life, all that shit. After about 15 minutes, he starts getting irked because I won't commit to buying anything. I said: "I told you when I opened the door. I don't cook. Have a nice day." |

Have to run these guys off every once in a while. Usually look like tweakers with jailhouse tats. My wife met one in the driveway once and said she wasn't interested and he had to leave. He started with "Aw c'mon little lady" while walking towards her. What she told him she would do to him if he didn't leave was not pleasant. He left. |

They always toss out some bs about being the last stop and they don't want to haul it back so here is a sweet deal.
My dad bought it once but he knows prices being a farmer and it panned out Lots of good variety from what I recall it was pretty good and well packaged |

Them: "probably only about 20 steaks left" Me: "I think Id have room for all that..." Them: *giddy* Me: "which neighbor was it?" Them: "huh? Oh... smith, around the corner" Me: "I know them. They're vegetarians" Them: "ughhh" Me: "gtfo of here" Actually had one neighbor fall for it then get all pissy when she started looking up what she bought and realized it was all cheep shit steaks |

That is nearly the exact story I have heard every time someone shows up selling stuff. One guy was a little more convincing than the rest, newer truck and a nice logo on the side. I knew I was not going to buy, but let him try. Grabbed my phone wihile he was talking, like I had a text. Search the company name on the truck in the city on the logo, it was not a real company. As he finished his spiel and asked how much product I wanted I just started pointing out all the holes in his story. He got pissed and got back in the truck, but the window was down. I pulled the MAGNETIC logo off the truck and handed it to him and saw a different logo magnet sitting in the back seat. |

There are some legitimate food sales outfits around. The legit companies in an area are usually known to the locals.
Schwans, Bon Appetite and a couple others come to mind. It's easy to get ripped off if you don't know meat and seafood. It's harder to get ripped off if you're buying a 5 lb. block of ice with U-12 Tiger Prawns frozen inside like they come from the processing plant or a cryovac packaged rib eye roast. |

Once had one stop buy the office I work at and was cranking the hard sell. He brought some steaks in and was trying to tell us how great the marbling was, it looked like low grade round steak. He kept pushing how great the price per steak was but once we got him to admit that they were only 4 ounce cuts he realized we were doing the math and he was SOL. While he was working on my boss I was googling the company and most of what came up was not good.

Had one come by last year. Two guys in a rusty beat up truck with a chest freezer in the bed. They started in with how it was such a great deal. I only asked one question: Ya'll have a permit for that? Got the deer caught in the headlights look. They immediately jumped back in their truck and took off lol.

I hate lying salespeople. IMHO, door-to-door meat salespeople are worst than used car salespeople.
ETA: I met a guy in college that did it for a month or two. The meat he sold was regular cheap stuff sold at premium prices. It sounded like the company he worked for also scammed their employees. He had to buy the meat at the beginning of the day from the company and be stuck with it if it didn't sell. I'm guessing most of the door-to-door meat companies are the same which is why the salespeople are so pushy to sell the meat. |
