there the kind of info i was looking for.. I sorta figured there was a gotcha somewhere in the deal.. but have often wondered who or how you see so many of them pop up around town.

i bet its one of them deal where you get burned the first time and there is no second time if you are smart. at least with christmas trees it not so dam hot.. even in texas..

someone is always trying to take advantage of people it seems.. I till put that off my list of jobs when i get to full-timing RV in the future..

Thanks again for the info and have a good week.

In spite of my employee's experience, I really don't see it as ripping people off. The stand owner deserves to make a profit too. He did front the inventory, so he should make a profit off of it. He does own, maintain, move and store the stands and he should make a profit from that. The landowner where the stand sits does deserve some rent. My guy is a great guy, but he is not an extremely outgoing personality, and I suspected from the start that an emotion based retail sale position was not going to be his forte. There is probably also a need to be a little-bit cutthroat to sell fireworks or Christmas Trees. Can't be soft hearted and give a kid a deal. Can't be judgemental and try and talk someone out of buying fireworks you know they are going to be using illegally. If someone is buying a rocket you know is not that great, you have to sell it.
