Always love going to the market , but today was different and I knew things would be handling differently too. I was surprised that venders could not give change back at all . I went to the place where you can purchase market tickets and was received by two women with a chip on their shoulder , they asked me who sent me , I replied I was inquiring on my own behave and was basically called a lier, then I tried to ask a question and was told I couldn’t , after that they started to complain about a vender .
