Hahah well it's kind of a funny story. This guy that runs the business has been doing it his entire life, he started it with his dad. Literally obsessed with fucking selling ice cream.
But anyways I got into it because its kinda been a tradition for the guys in my group/town to drive the trucks. So once I was 18 (you gotta be 18) I called the guy up and was hired pretty easily.
It was actually tough work, 12 hour days and since we worked on commission we were fucking hustling all around to sell as much as we can. After a few weeks I could tell when and where to be at the exact minute to sell the most hahah.
As far as pay goes, we got 25% commission plus tips. On an average day, i'd sell around 400-450 bucks worth of cream, so thats around 100 bucks in my pocket everyday plus around 40-50 bucks in tips depending on what town/route you did. So it wasn't bad.
But yes eating ice cream and chilling at the beach all summer was a pretty good gig.
