My vending commercial kitchen caught up with me. They hadn't been invoicing me. I'd told one of their workers to assuage my guilt over the free kitchen, who apparently didn't pass the message on. But they've hired a new girl to go over their books and she found me.
She said they'd completely lost my rate sheet and asked if I had it. I do, but gosh I won't be able to find it, since that'd be the only way they could back-charge me.
But either way, at the same time I've decided to cut back on my number of days vending, they'll likely charge me in the neighborhood of 40% of my current income.
I've heard of a potential opportunity on Saturdays. It would give me six vending stints per month but still just three days in total. Just a 12+ hour day. Then there's also winter when I don't make all that much. Or maybe I find a bar and vend after work a couple days per week.
In all, it suddenly has me thinking maybe it won't be profitable enough to keep vending. I'm just not doing it enough days per week to make it work. I should be able to recoup most or all of my capital costs because carts re-sell well, at least. Of course don't want to jump to this conclusion quiet yet, though.
My fallback option was to buy crates of return items and re-sell them on ebay. It's at least another option to not work on somebody else's clock. Unsure of the typical $/hr yet, though.
