An idea for people standing in line during Black Friday

[Saint Nick]

I'm sure people do this somewhere already, but I was thinking I should go out there at like 3:00am and make pancakes, hot coffee, tea, and chocolate, and some other stuff and sell them for a decent price while people wait in line. You think this would fly at all?

its not legal unless you have a license to sell food. at least in VA

 

[hiromizu]

Probably get arrested without a permit. No?

Better get a gun and rob them of their money.
No license needed!

I figured there would be some sort of legal issue in doing this. So, lets assume the person doing it had a license to sell food. Then do you think people would go for it?

I think so, assuming the prices weren't abnormally high.

It is pretty cold in the northeast (hit 70 in York, PA, but is currently in the 30s and VERY WINDY) so I think the type of food being sold would also matter--probably not a good idea if you drive an ice cream truck.

What if you do it technically by "donation"

 

[captains]

along with a vending license i think you need the stores permission to set up shop

sounds like a lot of work for a small profit.

Yeah, that's what you need...a bunch of DRUNK, IRATE SHOPPERS fighting over the last Tickle Me Elmo.

I have an idea to go to Best Buy before I head to sleep and make fun of the people standing in line
