I don't like that guy who parks "just outside" the selling arena and snags customers on their way out or on their way in. He didn't pay a fee, he has no business snagging customers from the farmers market or trade show people, or in this case, e-bay!

He's a scab, for lack of a better word. I won't cover his actions with talk about "free market" blah blah blah, it aint free! Someone paid to set up their booth, the scab didn't. He needs to get his truck totally AWAY from the "market area".

So all these flyers I find under my windshield wipers for store competitors opening down the street should be illegal?

What about Chinese labor...operating outside US restrictions on labor laws like OSHA and US taxes and enviromental laws and snagging US manufacturers (customers). Shouldn't that be illegal?

I read through the posts on ffcobra, and here and came to the conclusion that even though the average age over there is probably decades younger than habitue's here, that they're actually showing a more mature attitude towards this 'issue'.
