Is that 10 counterfeit?

I hope not.

Where are you located, if you don't mind saying? I'll come by a jug and give you the $3 they stiffed you on.
JqD2_ OP t1_jdv0wbi wrote
I don’t think got stiffed. I only had the 17 bucks in cash and the wheelbarrow didn’t have a card reader. Next time.
BorisGrishenko1985 t1_jdv1ctj wrote
O, ok. If you're happy with the $17 instead of the $20 then never mind. I figured you were posting because you were disappointed someone shorted you $3. A card reader would prob be beneficial as cash no longer seems to be king. I hope you had a good haul this season!
unknownusername77 t1_jdv2ptu wrote
I think OP was short $3 to purchase the syrup.
woodsey262 t1_jdv2s1s wrote
I think you misunderstood - OP is the buyer but he didn’t have enough money so couldn’t get any of that sweet maple syrup

Pretty close though
ambert34 t1_jdv4beh wrote
I think it's confusing people because, what is the purpose of this post? Just to show people OP was $3 short buying syrup? Ok...? Sucks they don't have a card reader though. Not trying to sound rude, just seems like a pointless post?
unknownusername77 t1_jdv4pq0 wrote
It could subtly be expressing the effects of inflation on Maines Maple Consumers. Shot in the dark.
ambert34 t1_jdv4zl1 wrote
OK, yeah see if OP had said something like, used to be only $17 and now is $20, I can see the purpose but reading OPs comment, sounds like they were just showing they didn't have enough to buy it. Didn't say anything about it going up in price.

A venmo/cashapp tag would also be useful, I've seen lots of stands that use that method.
unknownusername77 t1_jdv53a3 wrote
Also true.

I'm guessing you're one of them youngins who doesn't use paper money anymore? Looks like a regular $10 spot to me. Why would you think it's counterfeit?

Dang that's pretty expensive compared to what a quart of homemade syrup sells for in some states south of you.

We sell ours for 12 to 15 bucks a quart

I think you are correct and my perspective was that they were the sellers. It’s more clear to me now. 👍

Been there. Got the syrup anyways. Next time going through I'd throw a 5 in it to make up for it

It's been a really bad year for Maple Syrup in Maine. That may have affected the prices.
Jim_from_snowy_river t1_jdvfzkt wrote
Ah yeah that would be. We got almost 50 gallons of syrup (yes syrup) this year.

i would feel awkward in the interim, but i would pay what i could now, and come back with the rest later. happened just the other day at the pot store. i came up $2 short and the guy was like “don’t worry about it” and proceeded to take it out of his tip jar. i died a little inside but he was really cool about it. a week later i came back in and gave him the $2 and tipped some extra on top of that for the kindness. he really appreciated it. i think that would have been completely acceptable here, too

You seem to be getting down voted for a pretty honest mistake...
Simon_Jester88 t1_jdvol09 wrote
Just pour .15 of the jug out and leave the $17! Problem solved.
Blue_Eyed_ME t1_jdvro9r wrote
My sad syrup story... Years ago my sister brought home a boyfriend (her date for a family member's wedding), and while the rest of us were sleeping, he cracked open EVERY mini syrup jug (10) from our maple Sunday excursions and stuck his fingers in them and licked them off to "try all the different types." Disgusting.

WTF is up with the downvotes in this thread?
also who would put in the effort to set up a card reader that sits outside in the snow? u less you mean a laminated QR code that takes you to a paypal account
xach t1_jdvuxke wrote
Not around here. Near perfect conditions for three weeks in a row. And another good week ahead. I’m in northern Washington county. I have 20 taps and haven’t been too aggressive and I’ve gotten 9 quarts so far.

Armigine t1_jdvzicq wrote
this is a better idea than a card reader, both cheaper to set up and operate, plus unlike a card reader it's really hard to hijack. A bad actor can put a skimmer on an unattended credit card reader in like a minute

The honor system 100% approves of bringing $3 later.

He should have been stripped, staked to the ground, covered in syrup and left for the bears.

>Everyone deserves the real stuff on their pancakes.
Unpopular opinion: I don't even like the real stuff! It's too watery and absorbs into the pancake. I prefer the thick, fake, corn syrupy stuff.
So someone is welcome to my share of deservedness.

It’s not like it was stolen they were a little short. Very close as well.

You should have offered to work the stand for half an hour.

And if you’re so worried about it make sure you interact with your customers.
Chimpbot t1_jdwg83d wrote
OP was attempting to purchase maple syrup, and only had $17. No one got stiffed or shorted; they just didn't have enough to cover the asking price of $20.

I have a sad Maple story -
My highschool girlfriends Mom me a quart of maple syrup for Xmas.
A few months later I was looking for it in the fridge and couldn't find it, so I asked my parents where it was and my dad said "I threw that disgusting shit away."
He thinks real syrup is pancake syrup and hates maple syrup.

This is my first year here in this state and I just bought some syrup. It’s absolutely amazing 🙏

Grandfather started doing this as a hobby to give as gifts. He only got 5 gallons this year after refining it but he thinks that with more taps he will do closer to 15 next year. I honestly don't know how much of the stuff people consume but he should have enough to supply family i hope.

I had a friend come over, drench his pancakes with my genuine syrup, then he left several tablespoons on the plate. He didn't even lick it up, just put it all in the sink.

There is a local sugar shack in my town that does a big maple weekend, then honor system the rest of the year. They leave a crate of their syrup on the porch and a jar. I have tried others in my town and his is by far the best.
He charges $18/qt, but whenever I go get some, I just leave a $20.

Follow-up story:
Used to work on an organic farm. My parents came to visit and the farm had a supper/potluck for employees, friends and family. My dad refused to eat anything there and after he left he immediately went to McDonald's.

My brother in law used to be like that. He claimed he “didn’t like organic food”.
Dude, it’s a fucking carrot. If I didn’t tell you it was organic then you’d eat it without complaint.
