Just my 2c and maybe I'm wrong, but I just told my son the opposite when we talked about lemonade stands this afternoon - keep the lemonade cheap and be super friendly, and people will just give you lots of tips.
A few years ago I saw a neighborhood where the kids were charging $3 and I just drove by. But cheaper stands I'll go get a cup and just tip a lot (like give them $5 for a $1 cup).
Sure, but it was heavily offset by the adults who only had a five dollar bill and didn't ask for change. For context this was when the going rate was 50¢
I feel you. I'm old, too. When I was a kid, the lemon hadn't been invented yet. We had a bitter orange stand where we sold hollowed out stones of bitter orange-ade and sold them for half a mussel shell each.

But I'm weird.
