I woke up this morning, got coffee, two aspirin, and my mouse.
I told Don, "We should load those costumes up and take them up Highway 6 and see if we can sell a few of them." I had no ideas whether anyone would stop or not.
So we loaded the van, and headed out. I made a sign to hang on the side of the van. We found a place beside the road right in front of Kroger and Kohl"s.
We got the costumes out and I lined them up and propped costumes up in front of the tubs.
Almost immediately we had our first customers. 2 guys and a girl. The girl was driving and stayed in the van. The guys got out and looked for about a minute before they had one costume. They handed Don a $20.00 bill. Don said, "Hold on a sec, I'll get your change. The guy said, "No, man, it's ok!" Don must have really looked cute in his ball cap. :) Who gives a $15.00 tip!
$15.00 TIP WITH OUR FIRST CUSTOMER!!! WHAT!! WOW!!
After that more and more people stopped. When it finally slowed down, I decided to take the sign off
and hold it closer to the road. More customers! Wow!! This works!! So,
3 HOURS LATER WE LEFT WITH
$360.00
It was so hot out there today, but it was worth it.
May have to do this next Saturday for a couple of hours.
Great Christmas money!!
