$1800 for introducing yourself to the neighborhood, door -to- door & offer a pie. If you miss a house, or they didn't answer, you must send a "sorry I missed you" sort of letter via post. You'll have a week with the option of three day extension.
You will be compensated for two weekend days if you work weekends, should you need to take a day or two off.
This will be equivalent of a modest size suburban neighborhood. Average for MY money is three streets connected by two others. Five houses on both sides so like 35 houses. Give or take. You must have the wagon / food cart with three styles along. Fruit (apple), pumpkin and cream. Pies are provided. You may skip up to three houses which make you uneasy. Nutrition/ allergies info will be provided, you must provide the reason for skipping - like an upside-down Jolly Roger or engine parts & tires thrown everywhere. Maybe lots of religious/ extreme political signs. A board of directors will review your reasoning & dock your pay accordingly. You may appeal if you disagree.
Many neighborhoods have so-called cluster mailboxes. A burner phone will be provided during the allotted time you're allowed. You should include a "call to introduce yourself & claim your free pie" Also a heads-up when you're starting your rounds.
Dress however you feel will be most inviting/ comfortable. You don't need any redicilous outfit/ hat. You may go above & beyond at $65 per extra residence. Apartment dwellers still need to knock on doors. Just leave the pie invitation won't work.
Knocking on totally random doors is fine - if you live in a large hood / building, but the spirit of the bet is meeting your neighbors. You can contract it out to a kid, or something but they are required to give your first name and actual address. What their cut is will be between you and the contractor.
If you live in an upscale neighborhood or something & $1700 isn't worth your time - I still encourage you to make the effort to show interest in knowing those around you.
