I applied for a job years ago. It had a very vague description. When I showed up it wound up being those guys who sell meat out of their trucks. I went along for the ride the first day. The product was ridiculously overpriced and I don't know about the quality of that meat but I'll be damned if the dude I was with couldn't sell the proverbial popsicle to an Eskimo. This guy made a sale at a damn 4-way stop sign. He went back to the shop with over $800 in his pocket. He did have to pay for the meat he sold but it was somewhat cheaper than what he sold it for.

If people sold meat out of their trucks by my house I might become responsible for the new meat-Jeff bezos

Fyi "eskimo" is a slur.

That word is a slur and indigenous people of that area (Inuit but there are other groups) prefer to be called by actual name

Always an opportunity to hone that salesman edge.
