Sour taste: Health inspectors shutter girl's lemonade stand
County official in Oregon apologizes for overzealous officials

7-year-old told: No license? No lemonade!

PORTLAND, Ore. ? A county official in Oregon has apologized after health inspectors soured a 7-year-old's business venture by shutting down her lemonade stand. Multnomah County Chairman Jeff Cogen, the county's top elected official, said the inspectors were "following the rule book," The Oregonian reported, but that regulators should take into consideration the intent of the food safety rules: To govern adults running professional food businesses.

Cogen's apology came after inspectors cracked down on Julie Murphy and her mother, Maria Fife, after they set up a lemonade stand at a local arts fair in northeast Portland. After just 20 minutes of selling the drinks, made from gallon jugs of water and Kool-Aid packets, an inspector asked to see their license, The Oregonian reported.

According to state law, even the ubiquitous summertime children's enterprise technically needs a temporary restaurant license, at a cost of $120 for one day. After giving the pair the choice of continuing to sell the lemonade and face a fine of up to $500, or pack up and go home, the mother-daughter team opted to leave, the newspaper said.

Happened in central park, NYC a year or so ago.

I don't believe these "it's by the rulebook" fucks. Use your brain. If the rulebook says you need a permit, that's fine, but consider the situation... take a proper note somewhere of what's going on, consult with a supervisor, do something instead of relying on that crutch.

And $120 a day for a vendor's permit at a fair? I don't even believe that.

Tom_PM · 08-06-2010, 09:25 AM

People who grow up in "zero tolerance" schools dont know how to exercise judgment on a case by case basis.

They probably also got a trophy just for showing up to their childhood sporting events too.

You know: Idiots.

Guess they didn't like the cut of her jib.

Except that isn't true. The law is the law only if you have no other outs. Our seven-year-old had no outs, she should have snitched on the beer tent.

most drug dealers i know started off selling lemonade illicitly as kids. maybe if the cops would have intervened back then they wouldn't be peddling drugs now.

I'm sure. Who needs the War on Drugs when we can have a cheaper War on Lemonade?

Think of all the money we'll save. The Department of Health and human services will love all of the additional funding.

As long as they allow for Medical Lemonade use, cool.

Not only that, but because of their size, they physically have less surface area to conceal shanks & shivs & prison smokes. And they're easier to control out in the Yard.

Plus they eat less and will overall require less medication.

This is a win-win for all. The War on Lemonade is on.

Yep. "Donations" would have circumvented the license requirement nicely I think.

Well, they were mostly government jobs, so technically speaking, government is now smaller. Isn't that the conservative goal?

setting up a stand on the street is one thing.. a fair is something a little different

Agreed. Plus she had more than 12 oz of lemonade. That's a felony conviction right there. 30 years in the klink.

Agent 488 · 08-06-2010, 10:41 AM

i would have just set up a stand beside them, gave away the lemonade for free and sold advertising on the stand.

my reasoning is based on the fact she's competing with stands that did pay the $120, and her parent was with her

if this kid was allowed to do this, next year all the stands would have been run by children

So her parent should have stayed home and let the girl run it herself? Well, that's one way to push them into early adulthood.

Amputate Your Head · 08-06-2010, 10:56 AM

I think "mom" should have been tased & arrested too for violating child labor laws.

again, i'm not arguing about the fact it's a kid running the stand, i'm just saying there is a difference between one lemonade stand on the street, and one set up at a fair

if it was a business without license, they would have gotten the fine for sure

But it's not a business. It's a 7 year old girl selling lemonade. Should the IRS crack down on her too? Does she need to be audited now? Make sure she's paying sales tax to the state, paying her share of unemployment, filing her quarterlys....

Sounds like mom wanted to make some money on crappy fake lemonade during the fair and decided to use her daughter as cover.
