The protagonists were unlikeable enough. But just another detail that adds to it — were ripping innocent people off, telling them that they’re selling magazines when they were really weren’t?
I think so, because they adjusted what they sold to fit the buyer. One time truck magazines. The other boats. The other playboy. Etc.
Some of the people didn’t deserve it, like the trucker whose daughter just got married.
yes, it's a scam. at least in real life it was.
shareWhen I was in high school, late 80's our class sold magazines to make money. I believe we got like 50% of the sale. This was in the 80's when people bought and read magazines.
shareI think Kristin the group leader processed the orders and received the proceeds. But my question is was it enough to cover the cost of hotels, gas, food, weed, booze for that big group? It looked like some of them were scammers, like LeBoeuf’s character who used it as a ruse to get inside peoples homes and steal stuff.
Yeah obviously the OP had never seen a magazine catalogue. These are middleman marketing firms that sell magazines from several publishers by listing the subscriptions in their catalogues and hiring teams to push them in door to door sales. My high school senior class government signed up for this progrm to raise funds to pay for senior year events and a class gift to the school.
