There's not a man, woman, or child on the face of the earth who doesn't enjoy a tasty beverage.

I love to buy lemonade from kids selling lemonade at lemonade stands. I love it. I will always stop. If I don't have cash, I will go get cash and then I will go back.
One time I drove by the little park near our house. There were three kids selling lemonade. I didn't have any cash, but I had some rolls of quarters at home. I went back and gave them each a roll of quarters. They were so excited.
I did it because that was the cash I had on hand. More importantly, I always overpay because I think when you're first starting out in business, you need a little boost every now and then. It could come from a patron or benefactor or it could come from a random person or from happenstance. No matter what, we can always use that.
The lemonade is almost always bad, but the service is almost always excellent at a lemonade stand.
Like the saying goes, when life gives you lemonade stands, pay up.
