Why We Need a Policy
Early-bird shoppers are starting to get pushy about their perceived right to buy from vendor tables before 8am, making it very uncomfortable for vendors who are too busy setting up their tables to accommodate the “before hours” demands.

I hope it seems friendly . . . but reasonable . . . but firm.
It only works if we’re consistent.
I suggest you blame it on Dave. “Sorry, the Market prohibits us from selling before 8am. Dave’s in the red shirt and Market cap. Ask him yourself.”
