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!

I think OP was short $3 to purchase the syrup.

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?

It could subtly be expressing the effects of inflation on Maines Maple Consumers. Shot in the dark.

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.

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

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

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.
