Do you remember having to sell those chocolate bars and those candles etc in school when you were a kid?

They made it a contest. Sell this many. Get this lame prize. So forth.
just remembered poor kid me standing at doors with my order form in hand unable to speak. While strangers looked down at me.

Did that just one year going to doors 😆
My mom took pity. Ordered something every year after that and that was that.

Kids don't do that nowadays. No candy sales. No car washes. They simply sit on the street corner with buckets asking for donations. What are we teaching these kids? How to be panhandlers?

@Prisoner1972 In my city there is a slight infestation of panhandlers.
Sometimes they pretend to be crippled trying to gain sympathy.

I think the reason for no candy sales is because there were probably too many people trying to rip off the sales people.

No car wash - touching someone else's car may present a liability.
