Schwans
Maddie&EthansMom wrote: This is kind of interesting, but I've been meaning to order from our Schwan's guy and I keep forgetting. So, tonight I'm driving home and the big yellow truck passes me on our street. I again take note to place an order (I really wanted to flag him down, but I was in the car ) I go in the house and about 15 mins later the doorbell rings. I never answer the door when I'm home alone, but I peeked out and noticed that it was the Schwan's guy. I opened the door and he said "Are you Miss ____?" I said "ummm...no." He said "Oh I'm so sorry, I just noticed here that I have the wrong house number I'm so sorry to bother you." I said "Wait! Wait! Actually, I've been meaning to place an order and I know you won't be here for another 2 weeks so get me a catalog, go down to her house and come right back to me and I'll place an order." Sure enough, he was happy to do that and he had everything I ordered on his truck and he threw in some ice cream for free. Yeah, like I needed that!!
He is SO NICE!! I haven't ordered from Schwans in years. Not since we moved here. He was just the nicest person. Anyway, I didn't have any cash to tip him....not sure if they can accept tips. I wanted to know if anyone here orders from Schwans and if they ever tip the delivery guys? I felt kind of bad b/c he was so friendly...he even talked to Ethan and talked about his wife and kids.

luvmykids replied: I don't know, I never thought to tip mine, I just assumed the company promotes awesome customer service
Mommy2Isabella replied: What is Schwans ? I have seen the trucks but I thought it was just a pimped out Ice Cream truck ... ORDER stuff? Like what .. lol !!
I am so very out of the loop on MOST things, you can refer to Sal on that.
punkeemunkee'smom replied: I want to order from them too! I always forget Let me know what you got that is yummy!
Heather77 replied: We order from Schwans ..... I've never even thought of tipping . I always spend atleast $70 so I figure they already have enough of my money ...
C&K*s Mommie replied: What a sweet, sweet man he was!
~Roo'sMama~ replied: Aww what a nice man!! I love Schwans stuff - I wish we could order from them. Glad you got your order!

toady_buckshot_noodle replied: I used to order from them all the time. I LOVE the goulash. Doesn't sound good but it is. They have all sorts of great quick meal stuff and the ice cream is wonderful!!
Kaitlin'smom replied: LOVE SCHWANS.

SCHWANS
ataylorm replied: Gentlemen beware! The "Sweet Sweet Nice Kind" Schawns man is coming to your home when your not there.... (Ok sorry just a bad joke)
Many years ago (Around 20 I think) my parents used to have a large maid service company. We had a special freezer in the office that was packed full of schawns stuff. My parents would buy it from them, and then sell it to the employees. Mainly ice cream and stuff. But I remember as a kid, I was always so happy to see him, because it meant I was getting some good ice cream.
Now days they have all kinds of meals and such, but they are a tad pricy.
Maddie&EthansMom replied: I thought it was funny. I am on the phone with DH and I read it to him. He said "Yeah, that is a worry."
ataylorm replied: As a guy, I can tell you that's honestly a concern we all have, when our wives are home alone. It's not a matter of not trusting you, it's not trusting the delivery guy. In guy circles, it's known that type of job is a good way to get a little action from lonely women. Especially if your super nice and chatty and build a "friendship" with them.
mom2my2cuties replied: Some of thier stuff sounds really good
Maddie&EthansMom replied: Oh I know. Scotty has expressed this many times. That's why I normally don't open the door when he isn't home (b/c I don't trust these guys, either) But, pretty much all my neighbors were outside and it was light out so I went ahead. But, women do need to be careful. You lived in the Dallas area not too long ago so you may remember all the 'service' guys breaking into homes and raping/killing the women who were home alone. SCARY STUFF!!!
ataylorm replied: Dallas is a freaking scary place to live. We had our brand new 3000 sq. ft. home broken into by the construction guys working on the house behind us. Fortunantly for us, they meet our rottie.
mom2my2cuties replied: I do remember that When we lived in Wylie - we were having a real problem in our neighborhood with that only it turned out to be the construction workers breaking into homes.
holley79 replied: I LOVE Schwans. Thier Ice Cream is the best. Not to mention their other foods. Thier chicken fries are very good also. We use to order from them all the time before Annika was born. They loved me while I was pregos. Anywho, I always tried to tip my driver and he would not accept it. So then I would just order more from him.
Maddie&EthansMom replied: Well, what do you know??? They had the answer right on their site.
So they really do just have GREAT customer service.
Crystalina replied:
That's funny! When I was pg with Evan DH said that the Schawns man must have stopped over one time too many because I hate ice-cream but started eating it. Now I joke and say that he needs to leave the checkbook because my boyfriend is stopping over (on delivery days). His response is that if he's my boyfriend then he can give us our food for free and start paying some of the darn bills. The truth is the DH is usually here when Mr. Schawns man finally decides to stop.
coasterqueen replied: So do they sell organics at all? I'll have to go check out their site. I know DH's cousin down the road gets their stuff, but I never looked into it.
Maddie&EthansMom replied: No organics, Karen.
ataylorm replied: What kind of organics are you looking for? I might be able to make a shameless plug for our company...
mom2my2cuties replied: Nope you can't either I already got my hand slapped for doing it accidentally.
luvmykids replied: At Christmas I stock up on their Candy Cane ice cream, it is to DIE for
Kaitlin'smom replied: My Schwans comes in the evening so DH is normally home. Since we both work during the day he moves us closer to the end of his route. I am a sucker for there food he suggest somethign and usually I will say okay I will try it.
well I need ot go finish my on-line order. delevery is tomorrow night. YUMMY
TheOaf66 replied: I absolutely love their breakfast pizzas and bagel dogs yummy yummy
their pies are pretty good too
A&A'smommy replied: schwans is awesome!!! I keep meaning to order from them too but I always forget
Boo&BugsMom replied: I had no idea what Schwan's was until I met the hubby. His parents get stuff from them all the time. Actually pretty good stuff too. Reminds me of Market Day at the local schools (not sure if that is a local thing or not). I didn't know we could get it here until I saw one of their yellow trucks zoom past our house. Woo hoo! I've been meaning to get a catalog or something but I keep forgetting too.
TheOaf66 replied: just ordered one dear, it will be in the mail
mom2my2cuties replied: After looking at the site, i am now craving thier Old Fashioned Burger Meal (with the fries & rootbeer float) But I think at that price it would be smarter for me to make it instead of buy it
Boo&BugsMom replied: Cool!
coasterqueen replied: Welp...the are out for me then. Darn!
MoonMama replied: I never thought to tip them ether. We order form them pretty often too (about once a month). DH loves there pot pies and ice creams, they have this drink mix black raspberry that I LOVE LOVE LOVE, it comes in little cartons like the ones you got in school with milk. It is so yum!
