Operations
Provided Services
Usually the employed method of distribution varries from Candy Slinger to Candy Slinger, but the method of distribution can be put into broad categories:
FIXED LOCATION
Many Candy Slingers, or whatever organization they belong to, have a claimed territory where they are to be found, waiting to sell to customers. Usually they won't be alone and will have a small crew with them for protection.
CANDY CAB
The classic, Candy Cabs, Drug Taxis, whatever you want to call them have been arround for more than a century and are still being used. Due to being constantly on the move, a Candy Cab driving Candy Slinger does not paint as big of a target on his back as when waiting at his corner. He can also just drive past any potential customer that looks to sketchy.
CANDY DRONE
Delivering candy via drone is a relatively new thing, but has the advantage that Candy Slingers don't have direct contact to thier customers and are therefor somewhat out of harms way. However a down side is the ammount of technical knowledge required to set up an operation like this, as it needs hacking resistant drones and a very secure network, which is very hard to trace, while simultaniously accepting a cred payment.
COURIER SERVICE
Similar to a Candy Cab Drivers, Couriers wait for a call and arrange a meeting with a customer, however Candy Slinging Couriers are on foot. Often experienced freerunners and tracers choose this method distribution as it is much easier to stay out of sight of the authorities and rival organizations as opposed to driving a car. This is also the prefered method of Candy Slingers that don't belong to a larger organization.
