Its almost too ridiculous to believe but police in Salem, Massachusetts forced two children to close their lemonade stand because they didn’t have a license.
Dominic Serino, 9, and his neighbor, Ryan Decker, 11, were forced Saturday to shut down their lemonade stand at Salem Common after an employee of a nearby sausage vendor called police, complaining that the boys were hurting his sales.
The budding entrepreneurs had to call it quits, under orders by some reluctant police officers. The boys, after all, did not have a license, and rules are rules.
Rules may be rules but this is just stupid. What’s next, handcuffing Girl Scouts when they try to sell cookies ?
