How Does a Hot Dog Vendor Spend a Workday?
In The City The day in the life of a hot dog vendor varies greatly depending on their location and target audience. Vendors who place their carts in the city generally have a consistent schedule opening the cart at the same location each day of the week. However, unlike a typical business day career, hot dog vendors must be available on weekends as well, when foot traffic may be greater. Some hot dog vendors move their cart to different locations each day or every other week to target areas where there are more patrons present. For instance, vendors that stay in a business district during the week might relocate to a shopping plaza on the weekend to seek out people visiting retail locations. The vendor will have either a push cart that they store at a convenient location or a cart that hooks like a trailer to the back of the vehicle. The vendor then drives or walks to their preferred location, sets up his cart and sells hot dogs to people passing by. Special Events Not all hot dog vend
