Parkside Farmers Market — Local services in San Francisco

I previously enjoyed shopping here as there is a large variety of produce here. Unfortunately, the owner will lie to your face and insult you.

I parked my car on Saturday next to the shop and I get threatened with a $150 ticket the moment I step out of my car. I try to be nice and clarify with him "I'm sorry, the curb says loading zone Monday - Friday and it's a Saturday."
