He clocks a kid with the vertical swinging counter door in the movie too. Pretty sure he gets a kickback from the local dentist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8Lvn5H0kHw&t=20
Rich people get things for free or as gifts all the time. Meanwhile us peasants have to pay.

What even is this? Did they racebend the Candyman?
It’s from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
The scene is cut in a way that you don't know for sure they aren't paying him. They're probably pretty loyal, long-time customers given the way they all run right there after school, so he can take it on the honors system that they'll pay for what they're taking. (And he's probably able to keep track of it pretty well on his own given he knows their names and preferred candies by heart.)
As for the candy he throws aimlessly into the crowd, I'm sure he can afford to blow some pennies' worth of money on customer retention by literally throwing candy at them.
I suspect the rich kids had a line of credit where he’d just send the parents a bill at the end of the month. My understanding is many grocers used to operate that way, especially before credit cards.
The Candy Man can cause he mixes it with savvy business practices and loss leaders, and makes the world taste goooood!
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
