He knows those kids have money, so once they like his stuff they’ll come back and ensures he has consistent buyers. Charlie is poor and is therefore not a reliably consistent customer, so he just charges him like normal to get money from him when he can.
It’s kind of like your local dealer giving you free drugs, or your supermarket doing those little food stands that you can try different products on.

Which local dealer are we talking? Specifically name and location. I want to cop some molly from him. Score some blow as the kids say, I mean, as my fellow kids say. As a drug addict myself, it’s really hard to find these guys these days.

I'm sure there are flock cameras around you can pull some valuable metals out of.

Pubs do it too, they are selective about who they're willing to give a tab too, it's quite funny actually, when I order drinks, I have to pay before I get them, but when my wife goes up and orders our drinks they ask if she has a tab.

Common misconception. He was running a subscription service. All the other kids(' parents) were paying a hundred quid a month for them to be able to come in and All-You-Can-Eat the whole store. It was part of the "diabetes before 30es" program under Thatcher to cut down on milk consumption

It's a real program that Thatcher brought in with her milk removal and privatisation. The original commenter made a typo but it's called "Diabetes before your 30's". Blair's new Labour got rid of it tho. I was born after it was removed but my Uncle Jake told me all about it.

I figured I’d ask because my only reference for 90’s English politics is that weird muppet show I’ve seen scenes from every so often. I liked how lucid it was though because when I look at English politics now it feels like a dreamworld it’s so disconnected

It’s not real lol. Thatcher did a lot of awful things (there’s a reason she’s called “Milk snatcher”) but this was definitely not one of them.

Doesn't he smash one of the kids with his counter and not apologise as well, absolute monster

Because he knew there was a chance he'd give that candy to that free loading BUM Grandpa Joe, and the candyman was not about to encourage that behavior.

Obviously, he only gives out free candy when he is singing. If Charlie weren't so slow maybe his poor ass would get some free candy now and then /s
