Vehicles do not run on propane. Obviously, you mean diesel fuel.

Delivery charge or no delivery charge, Schwans still sucks a$$!!!!

:grin I'm so sick of this company I work for. In the next month were going to go from 38k a year salary to $110 per day if you dont sell more than $1150 per day.

Nothing if you dont stop at every stop. Its great if you can pull that or more per day.. however my routes are all country routes that make $900 to 1100, sometimes less, sometimes more. I know of 6 csm's in my depot that will be leaving if nothing changes.

All we hear is build your customers,rah rah...make us look good! yet none of the managers are willing to help out. They are your best friend when you have a stellar week.. then have a crummy week, look out.

I have never had any threats, but its very stressful to work at schwans. The guys that will tell you that being a salesman for schwans is the best thing to sliced bread are the ones who are making the big bucks.. some worked hard for it, yet others had great routes handed to them (**** kissers). And this gosh *** point system!!

Schwans has an incentive program to make you work harder. You get points for doing good.. blah blah. I don't want points to buy *** overpriced items on schwans incentive website.

I want cold hard cash in my hands to pay bills or put away in savings. just my two cents...

I am a route manager (i hate the title RSR or CSM) here in Kentucky, with a productive route in the central part of the state.

The 1.75 delivery fee did start in 2005 as a 1.00, yes that sounds a little steep, but an increasing number of the trucks are running diesel, not propane, and diesel is definitely more expensive than gas and propane. With more trucks running diesel our cost for fuel has gone up.

Personally I believe it is a mistake to go to diesel because it is susceptible to daily market pressures that will invariably drive it higher still. Propane on the other hand is bought in bulk at a contract price. However, it is, and always has been a flat amount whether you buy one item or 100 items. It is what it is, and yes it is still cheaper than Dominos, Papa Johns, and FedEX.

Moreover, we put it out in front for the customer to see. It has allowed us to lower our prices substantially in recent years on our product, such that a comparable order is often as much as $5.00 cheaper than it was as recent as three years ago.

If you have a problem with the delivery fee, either don't buy from Schwans, or lobby your elected representatives for policies that will make fuel costs go down (offshore drilling, drilling in ANWR, etc). But don't think whining will change things because in the climate we operate under, it is what it is.

I see that someone is beating a dead horse. I like my swans CSM and do not care of the 1.75 charge.

if you do not like there food, shop somewhere else.

if you like the food and convenience, pay the 1.75. just stop complaining......

Guest

If you must *** about the Increase you cant afford It. So fire up you big suv and go to sams club were you cant get a box or bag to carry your out and pay for a member ship dumb ***.

Guest

june 13th it going to $1.75 nation wide

do not ask your csm to take the $1.75 off it could get him fired.

Guest

Whoa people! Speaking as a current schwans employee.

The $1 Charge was implemented a few years ago when Gas prises were up over $5 a gallon, yes propane is cheaper but it was also through the roof, and now its like a tax once implemented it will never be taken back. The real *** part about this is I am stopping at your house wheather you buy or not, wheather you pay that $1 fee or not.

Upper managment just don't seem to understand this, (they're not real smart). Next time tell your csm your not going to pay the $1, I bet he'll take it off!

Guest

the dollar is a charge that our government mandated on schwans because of the propane because schwans has their own pumps the feds can't charge them more

Guest

A dollar!!! Yes propane is cheaper, but at say 30 buying customers a day....

That's only $30. That's still not enough to pay the propane that the truck went through for the whole day. Are you so cheap you can't afford a dollar? He'll if you can't afford a dollar every two weeks mabe you shouldn't even buy anything.

99% of all delivery companies charge a delivery fee. $1 is the cheapest one I've ever seen. Even the employees pay the $1, but they don't cry like a little baby. When I worked there the only people I mainly seen cry bout it were foodstampers.

He'll they got anywhere from $4.99- a few hundred dollars of food for a buck!! Quit your *** whinning and grow up!!!

Guest

the dollar surcharge is there to prevent the food prices from going up at a ridicoullous rate. FYI... propane is cheaper but has gone up the same percdentage as gas and diesel.

The regular pizza chains have impolemented a charge Of two dollars just to deliver a pizza. UPS, Fedex, as well as pepsi, coke etc have implemeted and larger surcharge.

Schwans does not charge you anything if you show up and you dont buy anything. Would be nice if you called abd let the driver know you dont need anything if you dont.

Guest

Schwans food is top quality and you need to get a life.
