Stacia Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Say you're vegetarian. (In my case, it's true. The dude didn't even fully stop his truck as I said that. Very quick way to be rid of them.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Say you're vegetarian. (In my case, it's true. The dude didn't even fully stop his truck as I said that. Very quick way to be rid of them.) It's what I say. In my case it's kinda half true. But close enough. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Just be careful using the vegetarian thing that your grill isn't sitting prominently in your yard. Been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Just be careful using the vegetarian thing that your grill isn't sitting prominently in your yard. Been there. Well, I don't have a grill, but you can always grill & roast veggies. (And just because I'm vegetarian doesn't mean that my family is... but I don't divulge that part.)

Moxie Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 We get all our meat from my parents farm. "Great! We also have fish!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yeah, I wasn't thinking dinner fixins' either. LMAO (My mind is totally in the gutter.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elinnea Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I've tried telling the meat truck guy that we're vegetarians but he told me that he also has fish. I know some vegetarians that eat fish but most do not so??? At least I was truthfully able to tell the guy that dh is horribly allergic to all fish.

Such a weird thing to say, right? Lol. A little creepy. Plus, it's like 90' here today. Not buying meat out of your truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 We get meat truck guys at our house every couple months. It's always the same story: "I'm finishing up my route and I have this unsold meat -- I can give it to you for a good price." Once, the FedEx man showed up right after them and ran them off, LOL. He then came up to my door and told me that he'd seen that these meat guys were scammers. Dunno if that's true, but I appreciated the chivalry. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I bought from them once. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. They have never come back again. We rarely get solicitors here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 They rarely come around and I've never bought. So, I can't say anything about quality. But my brain went to very bad places with the thread title. Since my likes are gone and it's not the first time this week, I think that I'm probably doomed to the WTM "Liker Ladies of the Night".

NoseInABook Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 They get super pushy here! They gave me a 5 minute schpiel and when I said I wasn't interested they pushed until I hollered we were a vegetarian family. Which we indeed were at the time but sheesh. Just a no should have been enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I think you get yourself into trouble when you start explaining. NO is a complete sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Meat...in trucks? That doesn't sound very...sanitary. Is it similar to the driveway paving scammers? Our neighborhood email group will send out warnings about them and call the police when they come around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I have always heard that meat trucks exist... but never seen one in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I have always heard that meat trucks exist... but never seen one in real life. I have only seen a few. In our area, they need special permits to sell door-to-door, and apparently those permits aren't easy to get. Once, I was standing outside chatting with a neighbor when a pushy seafood truck guy came by, and my neighbor told him she hoped he had a copy of his permit handy, because he was going to need to show it to the police when they arrived. He said he'd go get it out of his truck... and then he got into his truck and drove away, never to be seen again. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If the meat was good I might buy it. I mean... how useful. Then again, I hate pushy salespeople. And it seems so sketchy. You know what I wish people still did door to door? Sharpen knives. I'd pay every time in a heartbeat. I hate sharpening them myself and I never remember to take them to the hardware store until they're super dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 They stop by here about once during the summer every year. I tell him that we are vegetarians and he always looks so sad. And I have many friends who are vegetarian and vegan and they all have grills and use them often. I don't, but that is just because I don't really like grilling. But, I like eating it at other people's houses, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
