"There is pay."
That's usually a good thing. But in this circumstance, it means, no only are you obligated to do the work, you're also obligated to find the customers. You're on the hook for any unsold product, and you only get a fraction of the sales price. So the only way to keep your head above water is to swindle your friends.
This is what desperation looks like.
Yeah, I totally get that you have to make a living, but come on people, at least have the decency to not take advantage of people. It's easy to just do your job well and hope for the best. I don't think they're on the hook for any unsold product.
Thanks for stopping by, man! I appreciate it :D
