Hey Kids,

So I never heard how it ended. It really didn't get shut down by the cops for not having a merchant permit or something? The pics and video are good, but they offer no details.

Agent A made the exec decision to shut down, and it was the right call. Cops drove by, but no one batted an eyelash. None of the merchants complained. The momentum slowed and the mission seemed to have run its course. We didn't want to leave the agents who were roaming the plaza out there too long. We were out there close to a half hour (not counting set up time). But if we wanted to, we probably could've been out there the better part of the afternoon. We had enough agents that some of them could've posed as job applicants, but there wasn't enough of an audience to make that bit of improv worth it (although as VP of Human Resources, I was prepared to do it). If we were anywhere else, like Santa Monica, we probably would've been shut down within 10 minutes. And thinking back, it's something we could do with the large turnout we had, and it's something that just four to six of us could've done. The numbers would just alter your tactics slightly.

That's what I like about missions like this, you learn as you go and if we were to do it again, it would be refined. So, how much money did y'all make? Anyone actually receive lemon-aid?

[Leo Gonzalez]

$1.50 - 6 cups (50 cents seemed like a perfect reasonable price, thinking about it). I brought a cash drawer with $5's, $1's, and quarters, just in case. I saved the 4 rolls of quarters and the profits if we do it again. The credit application turned some people off - as expected - but thing I kept telling the customers was that it was just like a mortgage application, and they could lie their ass off. Or they could partially fill it out, and we'd fill in the rest. We really were eager to give them a cup of lemonade.

We had 25 or so people do the mission. No body got thru that intersection without being offered a finance deal. Plus, 21 of us went to the after-meeting, and it was cool to meet everybody!
