The Integrity of Tupperware Salesfolk

   On a scale of identity thief to volunteer soup kitchen worker, how much occupational integrity does an online tupperware salesperson have? And before you take issue with my scale, know that the scale itself has a lot of academic integrity because to the Elizabethans, thieves were the absolute worse, and credit card fraud seriously sucks.
   I know a girl who has been plugging Tupperware girl-guide style for the past couple of weeks. I used to do sports with this girl (the one time I did a sport) so she is somewhere within the same socio-economic sphere as I am. First of all, Tupperware is a good product, but doesn't quite satisfy the why. Also, how many of your Facebook friends are actually signing up for an eleven piece Tupperware set for 150$. This is the age of the Dollar Store, people!
   You do what you gotta do to put food in mouths and I do what I gotta do to maintain a habit or mundane writing SO where does the Tupperware salesperson fall on the integrity scale? Salespeople are a little bit worse than canvassers, because canvassers are trying to sell charities. However canvassers fall considerably lower than volunteer soup kitchen workers because they are pesky and don't give soup to the toothless.
   Despite blatantly working for the man and often being annoying and promoting capitalism I'll give salespeople points for dealing with the public because the public is the worst. Salespeople in general can sit comfortably below Bar Staff, and above School Bus Drivers with Religious Agendas/ Truckers With Obscene Bumper Stickers. Okay, thats settled; now we should consider the Tupperware subcategory of salespersonry.
   First of all, if you're paying 150$ for 11 Tupperwares you deserve to be committed. Thats all there is to it. But putting this Tupperware in the hands of the mad is dishonourable behaviour. Therefore the Tupperware salesperson is within the parameters of the "Selling People Shit They Can Get for Way Cheaper Elsewhere" category, however useful Tupperware may be as a product in and of itself. Conclusion: Urban Outfitters Employee < Tupperware Salesperson < Pop-Up Halloween Store Salesperson
   The Urban Outfitters employee sells you low-grade wares at ghastly prices (staff are unseasonably useless too). The Halloween Store employee does not necessarily sell anything you couldn't live without but they are jovial and costumes make people happy, and the shops themselves are only in support of the man for one out of twelve months.
