Lost $33.00 due to theft of ice in the past week

Guess the honor system doesn't work. Can't expect the ice company to credit me for it.bought a ice vending machine that will only accept cash and Prepaid cards that we make and sell. Holds 210. 10 lb bags. Going to get a headstart on paying for it.
Heading down to a few boat launches With a ice trailer full to sell at machine prices.

Well it was worth finding out anyway. I wouldn’t sell anything else on the honor system, it is a tourist area. There was an experiment done with a candy bowl in a waiting room. They put it on a table against a wall. The first part of the experiment was to fill the candy bowl up and just leave it on the table. The second part was to put it on a table with a picture of an eye on the same wall above the candy bowl. The one that didn’t have the eye photo got emptied pretty quick, people took handfuls. The one with the eye people took one piece. If you had a camera focused on your ice machine you could tell who took without paying.

@cherokeepatti probably should've waited until we were actually opened here to try the honor system

@MarineBob yeah that might make a big difference. How many bags of ice were taken w/o being paid for?

MarineBob · 56-60, M

@cherokeepatti 11 bags which is just about 15% of them
