I believe that you do indeed remember correctly. That's pre-sales plus drive-by sales plus tips. It helps to have a little kid (maybe 5 or 6 - supervised of course) manning the tip bucket. We've had folks pay $5 for a wash and drop a $20 in the bucket.


Then there is Legos and a Movie: Kid-friendly movie (like Robots, or some other disney-pixar), and beforehand they get to build a Lego creation (using all those legos collected from our FLL qualifier, plus donations). We charge a small fee for the legos, but you can include that with the movie.
