Hi Noel. Thats because tubz vending dont tell their new operators that there is an unwritten code that we dont do that. All they are interested in is money and they dont care about anything else. Think i've rather drive a bus for a living then give tubz vending a penny. Alan Centurion vending.
Hi Al

Whats wrong with driving a Bus for a living?
They have to have a PSV licence and there is a lot more skill and concentration required than filling a vending tower!
Lets be honest, you could train a chimp to fill towers!
There is actually a part time vender on here whose main income is derived from driving a Bus. :wink:

Very true Nigel. I was a HGV driver for many years. Still have the licence and do the odd run just to keep slick.

Let me think, why am I in vending, rather than be a bus driver?

1. I don't have a PSV licence, or the skils to drive a bus.
2. If you thing that filling towers is easy, try toys, just open the lid & tip em in.
3. Unlimited overtime, hours to suite & paid in cash.
4. No bolshie passengers.

Give up, in fact the most difficult part of vending is giving away the commission, but after taking advice from this forum I'm moving to zero commission.

Hi Alan speaking as a full time bus driver and a tubz vending franchisee I must put my two penny worth in lol ,firstly in my experience in tubz vending favor I do recall as I started I was told they would not place my towers in the same site as another operator however since then I was asked to do excactly that,personally I believe it's down to the operator to grow some balls and say "no" why would any one want to pay full Price for a site that's only going to recieve 50% of the potential profits?

well for all you doubters out there and all you tubz vending lovers, here it is in black and white. totally agree with chris that operators have got to grow a pair and say `no im not putting my tower in a site where one already exists` 3 reasons
1, it is morally wrong and the operator should really have some respect for other operators
2,as chris states it totally waters down sales for both operators
3,the site is really going to get ****** off with all of it and tell everyone to take their towers out.

i`m not waiting for it to happen to me before i come on here and say its wrong, most vendors dont want to create a fuss till they get shafted then they expect everyone to back them up,
i will state again one does appear on my sites it will be removed so to anyone that concerns YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
