The Water Boy Chronicles

This blog is for the hustler out there, people who seek ideas over ideas to make a dollar. Now its no mystery that unemployment is up and pay checks are down however its hard times that force people to be creative and try to do better. Most of the jobs that comes under the hustler's profile has a very small profit margin and it can be do to the fact that there is little to no over head expenses. However I also think it has a little to do with how competitive these " hustler" jobs are . I mean very where you look there is a peanut man , a news paper man , a phone card man , a car wash man and a water man. Which brings me to the reason for this story, I never ever thought about the intricacy involve with something are simply as selling water.First the leg work in knowing what is the most popular band on the market to day, then find out why is it the most popular band, is it because it sells the most or because it has the highest profit. After this signing up with that band is not always easy because a good brand has a good reputation that they can not afford to risk losing.Some of the requirements are the basic photo ID health certificate and in some cases a current police record.The brands that you will find that requires stiffer admitting are Aqua Pure and Chelsae's Choice. To my surprise Chelsae's Choice won over Aqua Pure 5 to 1 .Besides choosing the right brand and the application process there is also a lot if book keeping involve and finding a good location one that will stand out and one that is not over crowded. Last but not less there is always pandemonium when buying fresh water from the factories, It literally takes all day form start to finish.Oh yeah then there is the lost of broken or damage bottles that has to be replace with new bottles that cost an average of $10:00 to $12:00 dollar each. So the next time you see a water boy honking his horn through your corner or a depot on the side of the road please remember that its a little bit more than just water.BY the way my depot is located on Bethal Ave see you there...
