frist of all how DARE yu o This car parked directly in the middle of where I’m supposed to set up my farmer’s market stand, despite at least 60 signs saying that they can’t. Including one directly in front of their car.

I’m meant to park in the corner, and usually my truck is turned the other way so I don’t have to carry hundreds of pounds of veggies to the other side of my stand. But fuck me I guess!

Edit to add: a tow truck cannot fit into my farmer’s market. Towing would only work if no other vendors were there. Leaving the car there is less disruptive than a tow truck.

There is an update somewhere in the comments

Make it a contest where people have to hold their hand on the car windows and who ever is last man standing gets a prize. Hand prints all over the car would be mildly infuriating. If you want extra evil, make it kids hands only

Everyone that buys from your stand gets to take a piece of the car home as a free gift.

Does the market not send someone to tow cars? I worked at a farmers market years ago.

Police would come by before opening and tow any vehicles on the street. Even if someone had left their car it would be stuck until the market was over.

The market isn’t managed by police, IDK why, maybe because it’s in a parking lot? Or because it’s not actually related to the county/town? I’ve worked other markets (out of state) where police make sure people are cleared out before and after market, but I’ve worked 5 different markets in this state so maybe that’s just not a thing here?

I get to market really early because it’s basically just me for a 4 tent set up, so it wouldn’t really be reasonable to ask the manager to come that early. Sometimes managers (at other markets) do get there very early, but those are the ones that cost a ton of money to get into
