Yep, they can be as bad as born-again Christians or newly reformed smokers. I was fortunate enough to have a sister for my dealer…she knew better than to push me too far. But I have an outstanding collection of vintage T-ware… that’s all I ever got for birthdays, Christmas… I love my TupperPops!
I have a Tupperware Mother In Law (she sells it, she’s not made of it).
Worse - I have a Tupperware Area Manager Mother In Law.
Worse still - I have a Record-Breaking Tupperware Area Manager Mother In Law. This woman is so good that she could probably sell Tupperware to OTHER Tupperware reps.
She says she sells it because she wants to choose her own hours, spend time with her family and because she enjoys her work. I observe that 1) She doesn’t choose her own hours, because she has to attend meetings and things and has no say in when they are held 2) She doesn’t spend time with her family, because Tupperware takes her out of the house during evening and on weekend - you know, the times when her kids are home from school. 3) She constantly complains about her workload, and never has time for anything. She may think she enjoys that, but it doesn’t look that way to us.
She could get a real job, put in half the effort and make three times as much money, but she thinks that Tupperware offers her the three things mentioned above. All I know is that I’m sick of Tupperware!
Oh, btw - my brother and his girlfriend have just signed on to sell a different Party Plan product. I don’t want it, I don’t like it and I don’t use it, but you can bet I’ll surely be paying (too much) for it real soon. Two of my best friends are selling it too. Nooooo!
Hubby’s ex was a Tupperware Lady. When she left him, she left all her Tupperware behind, so I’ve got tons of stuff I never would have bought anyway!
I got tricked into going to one of those interior decorating crap parties once - overpriced plastic junk to hang on the walls - how classy! No, I didn’t buy any of it. In fact, I never bought anything at any home sales “parties” - and the invitations stopped coming. Thankfully, no one I know is into any of that now.
I only recently went to my first Tupperware party–most of my acquaintances sell Pampered Chef or scrapbooks or candles or other items. I hate Tupperware and Pampered Chef, and I don’t like smelly candles. Luckily, none of my actual family members like them either.
cazzle that must be tupperhell for you. I don’t understand this selling tupperware is easier than a other job’s thing. Seems to me a job is a job and the party plan lifestyle revolves around evenings and Saturdays.
I have been talked into holding a tupperware party on the 15th of September to help my friend get a kick start into the industry. Ahh well she is my friend and I don’t mind helping her out but I reckon I am going to have to talk to her about constantly selling to me.
