Poor Business Practices

No slaking your thirst here!

Note to young entrepreneurs: Summer weekends are prime time for lemonade sales. Closing up shop to go fishing* will put a major dent in your profits. When it comes right down to it though, we suppose that being on staff at a lemonade stand is a lot like dropping a line off the pier--there's a helluva lot of waiting around involved for potential "customers" who may or may not bite depending on a number of nebulous intangibles.

* TSG wonders if the 'ade-mongers have really gone fishing--perhaps they're watching TV or playing video games instead.

I do not think I ever ran a lemonade stand. I did, however, run a variety of "stuff" stands. Comic books, used toys, penny candies, old slingshots, and other assorted detritus from the world of a child of the late 50's-early 60's. All arrayed on a small table out on the sidewalk.
