I think he is a smart man. To some the temptation of money woul be too great. I remember going to a fruit stand in Missouri doing that. I believe they were Amish too.
Some of the farms around these parts sell fresh eggs this way with what they call an Honesty Box, you would have to be a low down sort to take advantage but I bet some do.
This reminds me of when I was a little girl. We lived on a farm but didn't have cattle. Our neighbors owned a dairy farm and we would drive over there where they had a 'self-serve' refrigerator. We would enter the building, take out as much milk as we needed (in large glass jars that we would return) and leave the money in a container on the countertop. No chains..nothing to keep it from being stolen. But to my knowledge, it never was. How I long for those sweet days...

ReplyDeleteHe's pretty smart - we've had a couple of cases of people stealing the cashboxes from farmstands this summer!
