So there have been a handful people that i have been cooking lean proteins for (meat) at my gym. Matter of fact, i cook for my personal training sessions....trade is a good thing huh.
There are several people that know and i only have about 6-7 clients right now. I don't make hardly anything on it lol.....i just love to cook. This has been going on for well over a year. And you know people talk at the gym, etc. Word gets around. I dont advertise, i don't have a business name, or anything. Although that is where i want to go lol.
Well our gym has had some "drama", i've not been directly involved LOL, thank goodness. I'm afraid that has come to an end and am now being targeted. Let me explain.....
Last Friday, i received a letter from the county health dept that they "....received a complaint that you are cooking and selling meat to individuals out of your home.". Quote from the letter "This letter is your official notice regarding selling foods that are prepared in your home kitchen. You are required to immediately cease all operations. "......then it goes on to say how i need to get a Cottage Food License (this is a state thing). "Failure to comply, will result in further administrative action." - no idea what administrative action is....more letters?? lol It mentions no fines, or anything. My hubs not worried about it lol.
Now, there is a local meal prep company (a couple actually), but one in particular that has been growing and i watch their IG account and its great, good for them. But they do whole meals, I am only doing meat. They have a few clients at our gym. I even heard one person tell me that i am cheaper than them and that they would like to go with me.
I suspect either this one company turned me in or this catty mother fucker at the gym did. This catty mother fucker......she is a very toxic person and i no longer talk to her, dont even look her way. She started some shit in the gym about my personal trainer and tried to get him to leave. What a beeotch. Which is crazy because my personal trainer brings in more business for the gym than what this bitch does. She is just a terrible person.....she just got her IFBB card in figure last year. Good for her. But she expects her business (training, coaching, posing) to take off after she turned pro....and it didn't lol. She just starts shit around the gym and with the owner. She used to be the manager until recently and she quit, but she is still at the gym training and training her 2 clients lol.
Man, i sure wish i can find out who turned me in.....but may not. What is weird is that the complaint specifically states meats, which i am doing. So it is someone that knows i do this, which several people at the gym knows. I gotta sleuth around and see whats going on......
In the mean time, i called the person that sent me the letter and left a vm. My hubs says to tell them that i am cooking, but that people give me money to pay for the meat to cook for my friends. I can't cook for my friends??!! So i might stick to this story. Will see how this plays out.
But if i find out it was this mother fucking bitch at the gym, game over man.
FYI....this toxic person also started shit at the gym about personal trainers not having insurance.....so all of them had to get insurance.
