    Profits from the kidney sale are gone.... Anyone need a lung? Half a liver?
    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    To he-double-hockey sticks with the cannibalism, I'm still stuck on Pepperidge Farm paying their part time employees $100/hr. :D

    Quit taking your work home with ya😁
    Now this is not the end of the cigar. It is not even the beginning of the end of the cigar. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the cigar.

    Budget?  Don't really have one. I only smoke 3-5 cigars a month, so when I pick some up they last.  Being lucky as the wife will stop and pick me up a box just because now and then stretches any budget last.

    Sure their employees don't  come close to 20 bucks a hour.
    Since I own this route I paid $275,000 for it years back, I'm not a employee.
    I average between 10k to 11k a week.
    20% commission nets me close to 2k a week. Before expenses, which are. Fuel for my 3/4 ton pulling 20 foot trailer, storage unit where peperidge drops off the cookies, insurance what runs 3k a year. By the way with hurricane scare last week in florida and pepperidge getting me extra cookies I ran close to 17k. Florida these routes sell for 40 to 1. What means 40 times weekly average that puts value of my route at around 400k. I've had it for 7 years. And 25 years before that had a bread route.

    All of the bread, some of the chips and cookies found in grocery stores are independent owned.

    Finding out that their products are stored in a storage locker insured I will not buy their products.  Also I'm not buying what you're trying to sell us.  You are saying that a 20 foot wells cargo is carting this **** around and they are paying you basically what the product is worth to do it?

    That's what I like about you @Patrickbrick - you call BS faster than anyone I know.

    Have no ideal what you mean what's its worth. If peperidge bill's in a package of goldfish to a store at $2  I get 40 cents.


    By the way pepperidge has close to 4k independent distributors. When we sell we put them on pepperidge farm website

    They have two different routes, snack which is cookie, and bakery which is bread and stuffing. Bakery routes sell for less early hours and have to deliver weekends.

    Easy to find out if its bull, fly down to florida spend a week with me. Or just drive the mile to the grocery store by your home at 6 am and go around back and talk to the independents.  Most will be in pickups and trailers,  few in box trucks.

    Ok, so according to pepperidge farms own independent salary information, the extreme high side is 115k.  This is for five days a week and many accounts.  The national average is 70k.  So your take home of 91 seems reasonable, however not necessarily for three days.  Good for you if true though.  Yea had some free time.  A rout now costs 343,200.00, in case anyone is interested.

    Ok, you net 1750 per week for what seems like an awful lot of work, paperwork and dealing with customers? AND you had to pay $275K for the route??

    Glad I don't work for them. I'd have to take a pay cut and pay out more than I paid for my house. Ouch!

    All depends where route is. Florida cookie routes are, 40 to 1, bread 25 to 1.
    But now if you want to live in a different state you can buy a cookie route some states for 25 to 1 and bread for 15 to 1.
