Thanks for all the responses. Cracks me up how every season there are
different problems!

re: vendor discounts.
In order not to offend, I said my "partner" (who doesn't exist) went through
the roof when he found out I was extending discounts to vendors and in order
to keep it clean, I needed to sell, and buy, at regular retail. I then made
it a point to buy some of her soap and this seemed to helped and set me back
very little. There is a lot of trading among the growers and it seems to
always be dollar for dollar, always at retail. So maybe I've solved this one
for now. I need to repeat, this woman wanted 7 pounds of dried beans,
clearly not for her alone, or this wouldn't have even been a story.

I've never even thought of end of market discounts! Wouldn't touch that one!

re: Early Birds
I bought another piece of shade fabric and now clip it to the front of the
EZUP while I set up. You can still see through it but it's a lot friendlier
than the police tape (DO NOT CROSS!) I was considering!!! Seemd to work
(only tried it once) and seems to have the effect that some of us old timers
may remember of a soaped window with just a little wiped away so people will
look. And now I open with a bang!

One other observation- I need more sleep.

Thanks again,
Steve
