All the more reason to get more venders on here so they can share their tales of good and bad times.

I did and admit post something which I thought was relevant to our businesses and YES that was relayed to me by Vending Revolution, so what? it's relevant.
and I wasn't rumbled I freely admit to posting for Snack-a-can. The fact is there are not very many Snack-a-can franchisees here anyway, so it doesn't matter. I'm moving on...
Jimmy instead of Barbara joining why don't you ask a few more Snack A Can franchisees to come on to the forum, that way you don't have to be the sole voice. I think the forum would benefit from it.

Regards
Rob
Maybe Jimmy does not know of any other Snack A Can franchisees!
An EX Snack A Can franchisee told me that Vending Revolution go to great lengths to keep them secret from each other???

Hi Jimmy,

You have highlighted that Barbara is not represented on here. That is her choice, as the forum has sections where suppliers can now post. Prior to the forum being opened up, you would have been correct, but now, she has a voice on here, if she wants to use it. Please dont let yourself be directly, or indirectly be used by your supplier. I can speak from some experience here and believe me its not worth it and only you get the hassle. Concentrate on your busines and your needs only. Suppliers are naturally looking after themselves and so should we.

People on here will always respond positively to you, but if you use inflamatory words, or put posts on for others, you will receive sharp comments.

Good luck, Paul
Well said Paul :clap:

I do know a few Snack A Can Franchisees, but most will not come here, cos it has the impresson of being anti Snack A Can, I can give as good as I can take perhaps more thats why i will not back down
My business is doing ok maybe it's the way I approach it, I have 20 years of PR Experience and I mean high pressure PR. so if I have a site which is not up to scratch I do things about it, I now don't get my sites from Snack A Can I prefer the face to face approach I also have the benefit of very little competition. so perhaps I'm the anomally the Snack A Can franchisee who is doing good and I'm happy with that -I think that may annoy some people because they had a bad Snack A Can experience - accept it.

I am not arrogant, thats the impression I get, the minute I state the fact I'm doing fine, this is what I get thrown back every time! and that what annoys me, you don't know me............. for every bad Snack A Can Franchisee Experience theres probably 2 good ones out there, it's just that the good ones don't come here

This has got to be a wind up. I know a few Vending Revolution operators and every one of them wants out I was also a Vending Revolution operator and I wanted out after you look behind all the smoke there's a ruthless company who are overchanging everywhere so they can have the best in life. Like Nigel said. An extremely clever operator with a fair bit of integrity could not make it work. When I heard the figures he was doing it re iterated that the model is floored and on a sinking ship.

Here's one for you Jimmy.

You say you do your own site finding..
You clearly don't have a problem speaking your mind...
You can source your own machines from indpendent sources....
There are many stock suppliers out there....

Sounds to me like your prime candidate to become an independent.

do you have pringle machines in your good sites and toys? or have you been brainwashed that it's not good for your business?

Cheers
Jonny

Yes I am probably best candidate to be independent - I agree.
I will never have a problem speaking my mind.
I wouldn't speak to Barbara about Toys or Pringles, if I want to ever do them I will, I have an option to buy a few anyway
I may go Independent in the future but at the moment I am fine if it does go down the toilet I have Barbara on Speed dial she's my first call not here. But she or anyone will never brainwash me.
