We used to do the Schwans thing when I was growing up, and I do remember the guy being really pushy! It got to the point that my mother would make me go to the door and tell the guy my mother wasnt home and she didnt want anything. It was the only thing that worked since there was nothing more he could say to a 10 year old (although I almost think I remember him asking me if I wanted to buy anything, once in a while )! If we tried the hiding thing he would knock for a long time, and then sometimes he would just go sit in his truck in the driveway for a while and wait for us to come home I guess! We mostly bought ice cream from him, so once ice cream season ended, thats when hed become a pest, even though my mother would tell him to only come every other month, hed still show up every month. Im not much of a vanilla ice cream fan, but their big buckets of vanilla ice cream (2 or 3 gallons?) were just delicious!
