You can get pretty good stuff from Shwanns, and they are local.

That just about covers it.

For me, the abundance of neck tats tells me volumes about the prior employment experience these guys have. That, and the fact that they won't STFU and get off my property the first time I tell them to leave.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. They are bullies and DID enter my house year before last. I had just gotten home to recover from having had brain surgery and was bullied into buying 500.00 of their food. They drove off and I was thinking... wtf just happened? I agreed to one thing in hopes of getting them to leave and that just made them soo much worse. Then they started wheeling and dealing raising their voice at me and almost went down to name calling and threats. I was alone and had to stop at 500.00. I'm like wtf just happened? The only reason I opened the door at all was because I thought it was a vendor for my rooommate - Capital Electric or something like that. They would not leave when asked and I clearly stated many times, its mostly just me living here I dont NEED all that much meat and I dont spend a lot of money that would equal their prices. They basically treat you like an idiot if you refuse anything, they are threatening and were inside the house and refused to take NO for an answer. I hate those guys. Than pretty much ended up being everone's Christmas present that year.

Cool

Has anyone received a business card from these "salesmen"?
My guess would be no.
What's the name & phone# from the side of van?

That's awful! I am so sorry that these belliegerent people did that to you! I've learned not to engage them at all. When I see them pull up I just wave them off and shut and lock my door, they don't bother sticking around. Clearly trying to treat them with human respect and courtesy gets the public nowhere with these folks.
Personally, I resent that they come around in the middle of the day, when it's likely to be women home with young children. It's can be pretty intimidating to have two tattoed thugs at your door pressing you to buy their stuff, whether it's meat or books.
