I would apologize and then explain your goofup to those seven people and have them write new checks.

Otherwise, they will be waiting forever for the checks to be cashed and the money taken from their accounts. Plus, they were probably looking forward to the popcorn.

Edit: clarification

I’m definitely giving them the popcorn either way.

Remember that checks can be canceled and reissued

The fee to stop the check probably costs more than the popcorn though.

The stupid popcorn is $25. It’s horrible trying to sell it.

I hate to say it because I think Scouting is great for young people, but that popcorn really isn't very good. But we buy it every year anyway.

Have you purchased boy scouts popcorn before? Lol

Nope, but is it more than $30? Because that's how much my bank charges for a Stop Payment on a check. I know some can be even higher. I doubt someone buying popcorn wants to pay the Stop Payment fee AND issue another check for the amount of the popcorn.

I actually didn't even know boy scouts sold popcorn. I've only ever seen girl scout's selling cookies.
