yeah, it's first-come-first-serve unless you're one of the lucky
ones to get a permanent spot from a long waiting list which we are
on. fingers crossed we will get one this year, spots are assigned
every July, with full payment of a year's rent which is a chunk of change but
very reasonable considering it includes 104 market days a
year.
Marie, it was funny...after I cried & cussed ;
)))) And to top it off 3 times I stopped to gas up, pulled in,
struggled with the locking gas cap that my father-in-law put on in his paranoia
about people stealing his gas when prices skyrocketed last year, got the dang
thing off, stuck my debit card in, twiddled my thumbs, when instructed stuck the
nozzle in the tank only to be told by the computer to see the cashier before the
pump would start. Come to find out the stupid stores weren't open
(couldn't tell, all the lights were blazing and cars were in the parking lots
but apparently these cars belonged to the surrounding apt complexes. The
stores don't leave their pumps on after hours . Up here in
Hicksville, uh, sorry, Hillsville, pumps are left on even when the stores are
closed) so that was frustrating to say the least.
it was an experience to never repeat. especially not at those
god-awful hours!
Is there any way that you could set things up so that you could call the market manager enroute, explain that you're held up in traffic hassles but are still doing your best to get there, and ask them to save your usual spot? Or is that market just entirely first-come-first-served?
