Ice Cream Carts, hand pushed; How do you folks feel about ...?

Question

folks who can't speak much or any English, pushing ice cream carts by hand into your neighborhoods, selling icecream to your children and ringing their crazy little bell, allowing the kids to throw their wrappers on the ground?

Yes, there are hand pushed carts, guided by apparently non English speaking hispanics, who ring bells and frequent areas around schools to sell to kids. There are so many hispanics they apparently make a living. I have had to have the police throw them off my property. This is happening all over California for those who don't know it yet.

I really like the idea of throwing eggs! I can't get them to leave and the City says they have a right to sell this way. Itinerate sales people. Supported by our Hispanic major. No one seems concerned that the garbage is thrown all over the streets. I wonder who is checking the food quality. I notice it's all in Spanish?

Most American kids don't buy that stuff and so they don't throw the wrappers either. The litters, are the parents and children who are Hispanic, who knows if they are legal? I got the schoold to do a litter teaching lesson on this. Now the only ones littering are the adults ...must be from places like ...oh, Mexico possibly?

Answer 1

How are they legally able to do that? I mean they wouldn't even let small stores sell homemade jelly by the Amish because of "health regulations". I thought you had to have a business license, insurance and all the rest. I know I couldn't walk the streets with a cart and sell anything. I couldn't go door to door and sell homemade cookies. What's the deal? A "while you were sleeping" law get passed or something?

Answer 2

Here where I live they've upgraded to ice cream bicycles. They don't push anymore. I used to eat them (they would come by my place of business) but I can't eat sugar anymore. They were pretty good, though..

I know exactly what you're talking about. They are in little green freezer boxes and a bell rings when it's pushed. They DO exist.

Answer 3

Yes Swensons

Answer 4

Ok, you are just uneducated. Why, wouldnt i buy ice cream from them. Its not only hispanics that do it, I once saw a WHITE, what do you have to say about that. Would you rather have people selling drugs to children and destroyig their future. I mean its nothing bad if they could get a better more secured job(because they get robbed, and beaten)they would get it you stupid person!:(

Answer 5

Report them to the city. By law, they are required to have a license to sell.

Answer 6

Being in SoCal, I see them all the time. No license, permits, or anything. Cash and carry. Who knows what kinds of insect parts are in that crap.

Answer 7

Ive never seen anyone ever push an ice cream cart, down south we pretty much drive where we want to go. Mostly it is lebonese or black folk who drive ice cream trucks and I dont care much about that, since I dont have any kids, thats your problem.

Answer 8

I usually Egg them from my 2nd floor. They don't come on our street anymore because they can't figure out who is bombarding them with eggs

Answer 9

Rasist or nahh

Answer 10

I would never buy from them since I don't trust the quality. They are annoying scum. They are illegal alien criminals and should be deported. They are a hazard since you can't see them.

Mostly, when I know someone is an illegal alien criminal (any business) or they support them, I don't do business with them. I used to get my car washed at a place that was closed last May for the "day without an immigrant." I get my car wash somewhere else.
