What's A Street Account?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!


I was training a student named the Vicente Duran, we were headed to Waller, Texas. While we were talking and driving, he told me about his old job, where he delivered food to different places around town. He mentioned a term called a street account. I asked him what it was.

Vicente described all the different accounts that his old company had, Ben E. Keith, and some of the smaller places in residential areas that they needed to deliver. If it was a regular customer, it was called a "street account." Even if it was a very small customer in a residential district, It was still called a "street account."

Some small customers, and residential districts, for people who cooked at home, and sold the food as a small business. They would buy maybe twenty briskets, so they can smoke them. They would then sell the smoked meat to a food truck that they owned, or one they did business with.

But if they were a regular customer, no matter how small they were, it was referred to as a "street account." Those kind of customers were hard to deliver too, because they did not have a lot of room to make the delivery. 

Now you might be saying, who cares what they call it. Well it's just a little insight into a company doing business around here. It was just a little something that I didn't know, that now I do.

Does your company have special names for the customers? Can you share that information with us in the comment section? If you enjoyed this story you can click on the "follow" button so that you can catch all the future stories.
