vegetable sellers in their truck

Thursday and Sunday are our big vegetable shopping day. Vegetables, fruits and flower sellers open their shops on the street. One of the most popular shop is the one, which sells the vegetables in a truck. There are always two long queues in front of the truck. If you want to see a good queue in India, you should come here. Young good looking sellers will tell you off if you try to jump in a queue. As a Japanese, I love to be in a queue. It is fair. If someone try to jump into the queue. I cannot help telling them off as well (as gentle as possible:-)).
