Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 4, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 4, 2023 This time of year all over my state almost every small town has one or two sweet corn or produce stands. These are all on the honor system with a cash drop box with nobody tending the stand. I'm sure there are some that don't pay but many like me probably give 10-20% extra for the convenience. Pretty sure its profitable for them as its been going on this way for some time. Young kids use to tend the stands but not any more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Contributing Member $poorsledder$ Posted August 4, 2023 USA Contributing Member Share Posted August 4, 2023 They do the same all over the neighborhood with eggs and vegetables, it make is convenient when I need a tomato to throw at the asshole neighbor's house. The guy is from the city and thinks he can just come into our small town and do what he wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s worth the drive if you’re in the area. The donuts on Saturdays are epic. Beef is top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Try leaving bay doors open and not have people run through the shop and steal your tools off your box. Try putting a ladder up and not paying someone to stand on the ground and guard it. Try putting gas in your car or stopping at local convenience store after dark and not get jacked. probably 300 thousand worth of vehicles sitting in parking lot with keys in them . No guard, no razor wire fence, no dogs. Try that in big town! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Shifty Posted August 12, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) I don’t think we bought any vegetables lol. Donuts, apple maple barbecue sauce, and some peaches. The peaches are from Pennsylvania and epic. They seem to be a thing. There were crates and crates of them that were reserved for people. And traffic was steady. Edited August 12, 2023 by Shifty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
