Longjohn ★ Posted May 13, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2021 That hasn’t happened in at least 25 years. I think he was selling a service to remove dust mites. He ask if I enjoyed shopping at Walmart. I told him I don’t shop Walmart. He thanked me for my time and left. There are so many real jobs out there now I can’t imagine why someone would go door to door. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some people do not enjoy the confines of the modern workforce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted May 13, 2021 Share #3 Posted May 13, 2021 That seems crazy--- I didn't think there were any canvassers any more. And, it is not like you live on a road with a dense population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted May 13, 2021 My next door neighbor’s daughter is getting married this weekend. I hope to take some pictures. It is going to be a really big shindig. This is the neighbor that is a carpenter. He could have built Dr. Mickin house and DH ‘s house and had a year left over. He built a temporary front porch and enclosed it then he built a temporary back porch and enclosed it. Today he put up a huge tent. They will party all day on Saturday. I like being able to get a peek into their culture. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yeah, a not-very-dense neighborhood would likely be both an opportunity (underserved) and a waste (bang-for-buck/effort). Of course, he may have a whole host of reasons why it is a great job? Not my idea of a good business to be in, but 300+ million folks in the US mean we have 300+ million different opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted May 13, 2021 Share #7 Posted May 13, 2021 We get door to door people for energy sales, internet / cable when a new offering comes up, like high speed fiber, and tree trimming. After hail storms you get roofers and dentless paint repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ just self-identified himself as a rich guy who can't be bothered saving money at Walmart! The scoundrel probably was watching deliveries and saw the new bling-bling-bling bike delivery and knew he might be on to a big fish! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
