anyone have schwans delivered to them?

[gtc08]

saw there ad in the star trib about free 10 dollars of food. got me to check out there site, ended up buying about 50 dollars worth of food, ice cream, etc.

apparently they are legit. im on there route and get the food delivered biweekly. i always wondered what those yellow trucks were for. light came on after i saw the ad.

food is more expensive, but the portions are larger and you have the convenience of the food coming to you.

looks good, this is my first purchase with them though.

i assume someone on here must use them regularly.

I was thinking about this the other day too (Von's here)

It does seem pretty damn convenient to just go online and go shopping for 15 mins rather than driving and spending an hour+ running around with a cart and waiting in line.

For some reason I'd just feel like a douche with a big red Von's truck parked out front and paying $6 for some guy to bring my groceries in

My parents use them a lot and love them.

Have Used Them Quite A Bit

Some of their stuff is A1, other not so. Have to learn to pick & choose. They ARE $$, but the convenience is worth it for me. Still need to get dairy, fresh fruit & veggies.

I worked for them years ago. One of the shittiest jobs I ever had.

I can imagine - those guys are still out in neighborhoods past 8 PM here in Colorado...the food is decent tho, push up pops are the bomb

they are always hiring around here, actually i can't remember if it is a Schwan's or a place just like it with a different name. But anyway they are always hiring. I met some people in the past that have worked there and basically they have said it sucks unless you have been there a while and have good routes. They said all the newer people get the shit routes and they also said they pressure you to cold call and solicit door-to-door and get sales. One guy i met said he worked there for only a month, said he got stuck with the ghetto route. He was saying "damn people on welfare and live in run down crack houses and they expect me to get sales in that part of town."

I have used them as well. You just have to pick and choose what you like to buy. Some good values...some not. Overall it is worth it. I am not sure why I stopped. I almost feel like giving them another shot. I know poeple who use them all the time and I always see there trucks everywhere. I live in Cental PA.

I will say this, Schwan's has some of the best ice cream on the planet.

Helpful Hint from an ice cream connoisseur: When you're buying ice cream, look at the ingredients. If "cream" isn't the first ingredient listed don't buy it.

Ive heard they work you some long hours

my parents used to get them all the time when i was younger. i actually just saw my first schwann-man truck in about 10 years or so last week

 

[SureGuy]

my parents used to get it and most of the food is very good

 

[shiz]

I've been getting their stuff for 15 years. All in all, its pretty good. One thing I've noticed over the years, the prices have gone up and portions are shrinking.

 

[DeathEatsaCracker]

Ive heard they work you some long hours

Yeah. 12-14 a day, five days a week.

It's straight commission, too. Even on good days, when you break it down it was like $6-$7 an hour. This was back in the late 90's.
