11 yr olds cupcake "business" shut down by local government agency....

If it goes beyond lemonade stand at the end of the driveway or school bake sale, it should be treated like a real business. It is FOOD, after all. And $200 a month to me says real business.

Where do the people operating hot dog carts go to the bathroom and wash their hands?

In bathrooms.

Most cities create criteria for all of this stuff prior to allowing hot dog carts to exist.

Keep dreaming. They create the criteria yet rarely enforce it. The food truck operators are probably going in a bucket under the counter. The hot dog carts guys are probably going in an alley. If YOU are lucky they use a real bathroom and MIGHT wash their hands. Even if they do wash their hands they still handle tons of cash(which is very dirty) and do NOT wash their hands after handling the cash.

The health dept is too busy busting kids lemonade stands and cupcake stands doing $200 a month to check on the hot dog carts.

You can find tons of videos on line.


I like this video. A vendor at a Houston Astros game goes to the toilet to take a deuce and he puts the food on the floor in the stall.
