Drive-bys

Today me and my friends tried to sell hot chocolate and misfortune cookies like you would lemonade. What are misfortune cookies you say? They're fortune cookies that were made wrong, you can buy them in 5 pound packages. In celebration of spring break, I am having a guest blogger, one of my best friends, CB.

While trying to sell hot chocolate and cookies we found that there are a few types of drivers in our neighborhood.
  • The type that actually stop. These people buy something and make conversation (in our case our neighbors. Sadly they are kind of obligated to buy something.)
  • The kind that drive by and acknowledge our presence. They smile and wave but don't have guts to buy something.
  • Next there are the people who slow down almost stop directly in front of you then speed away. These make you the most mad. They trick you into thinking they're going to buy something but then don't. They get our hopes up and then crush them.
  • Next are the ones that speed up when they see you. In one case a walker started running when he saw our table. They don't want to buy anything and avoid you at all costs.
  • Lastly are the ones that drive by and don't notice that you exist. In one case a walker walked by us while we were talking in loud voices. He didn't even twitch his head.
One thing we also noticed, we sold more product when we had cute little girls with us. I also noticed that middle schoolers don't know how to sell product. Thank you everyone for our 5 dollar earnings.

Happy SPRING BREAK!
