My first job was hawking food at summer concerts on weekends when I was around 12. At thirteen I added to this hawking at the ball park programs and food. Hustling and carrying as much as possible for the short optimum buying window was the key to profit. The other was a big mount yelling Peanut's PopCorn, Ice Cream or whatever. I made lots of money and usually twice as much as any of the other hawkers as I had a very big mouth and I hustled and figured out what products had the best profit density for a given day. As the top seller I always got preference in choice of what to sell and in allocation of product. I always came back empty handed. tom watson tosiwmee
