That and dog fights has had dogs banned for quite a few years now at the Madison market. Except service dogs of course.

I have some produce that tends to draw an ethnic customer base. Some of them can be quite obnoxious at times. Poking thru a whole crate of eggplant for the "perfect" (to them) one and bruising 20+ in the process. Dickering on prices. I know it's customary where you come from but not here. I will give a bit at times (depends on your attitude). But don't dicker down to next to nothing then try to give me a $50 to pay for it.(it happened). Oh and don't insult the produce. That won't get you a better price. I know my quality is better than anything you will find in any store.

Yup...

And don't drop an arrogant attitude... Just don't.

Of course down here I have been working markets since February. Last Saturday it was 107 in the shade.

Time for a break I think.
