In an interesting twist, you are not suppose to make lemonade if you are given lemons, according to the Portland Health Department.

Julie Murphy, a 7 year old girl was slapped on the wrist for setting up a lemonade stand at a street fair by the health department. Apparently, she did not have a temporary restaurant permit to sell food at a public place. The permit cost $120. She was forced to shut down or face a $500 fine.

As opposed to selling lemonade, she gave the lemonade away for donations. The health officials came back when traffic started to pick up and gave her an ultimatum, “shut down or face a fine”.

She would need to sell or get donations that equate to 1000 cups of lemonade if she would to continue to maintain her booth, as she was selling a cup at $0.50.

In an ideal world, you would want to work yourself out of your job and hopefully retire in comfort. Well, the Season Ticket Sales Staff of the Miami Heat found out that they worked themselves out from their job when all the season tickets were snapped up after the Miami Heat recently signed LeBron James.
The Heat fired all 30 of its season ticket sellers. One seller acknowledged to the Miami Herald, “There was really nothing left to do.”

Hopefully, the Heat gave the ticket sellers some benefits from that as that saved the team a lot of money in wages for the 30 ticket sellers.
