My biggest concern is kids who come in and try to steal shite. I assume you gotta watch that stuff pretty closely, which is hard if you only have 2-3 working and one is running the register.

Why do I need more people? Is the tent that massive?


July 1,2,3,4

It'll be 3-4 deep(or was when we did it)

This was a stand about 30'-40' long.

What are you going to do when you need to crap or piss? Leave 2 people?



When you say "summer" how long do you have to operate the stand?

You're not factoring in the spending the night hours.

He is making 5.00 an hour.

Unless you own the stand or have money in it or helping a good friend/family out, f that.

Good point, but I figured he's just stuff a dummy in a cot and go home.

I did it in high school one year for NYE. It was a lot of hours in the cold. If memory serves me correct, I made $800 and caught the flu.

You can run it by yourself up until the busy days, July 3rd and 4th.

Then you'll want two registers open so you can be on the floor selling (answering questions)

The line will be a mile long in the blink of an eye and if people have to wait they're going to your competitor.

And on the 4th plan on staying open until at least 1-2am
