The difference here though is there is a lock box out there for cash and information to pay via venmo. It's beyond obvious his stand is on the honor system. My son doesn't sit out there during open hours, it's always open. This guy came knocking on our door looking for a better deal.
Good on your kid to be working! I love the roadside stands and great of you to teach him the ways of savings! This is something my wife and I will bicker about. I don’t budge on my wood prices, they are fair. Sometimes I have the guy who wants to barter and thats ok. I will tell him it’s my bottom line. Usually goes ok. Had a guy a few years back I just told no. He kept trying and I knew it would end badly with the wood on the ground and bartering continuing. Gave him two warnings, then nope. Wife and I did FPU as well. No debt for about 4years, been married 5.
