A comment on Lemonade Stand Operator A/B Tests His Attire - Suits FTW. Parent comment
If I saw a kid out in front of his grandmother's house in the summer wearing a suit selling lemon-aid, I'd purchase it and probably add a tip:
- It's the middle of summer[1] and the kid is serious enough that he's willing to sweat it out in a suit. That's an attitude I'd respect.
That would be my instant, gut reaction, walking by that stand for the first time.
[1] I'm assuming he's not selling lemon-aid while attending school
