A New Jersey food truck owner says she was “threatened” by another vendor while serving food near a school. According to her, the other vendor had a problem with her relative buying food from them, even though they’re competitors. Now, she’s speaking out about what she experienced and why it should have never happened.
Food truck owner @tinyhotcakesnj was serving food from her food truck recently. Suddenly, another food truck owner walked over and confronted her. She tearfully tells her audience that a food truck owner walked up to her truck and “threatened me to fight her.” The owner asked her to come out of her truck and physically fight her. Why? As the owner of Tiny Hot Cakes Café says, it’s because her cousin went to this woman’s food truck to support her business. Apparently, the owner thought they were scoping out her business or trying to intimidate her by purchasing from her.
In a weird turn of events, the vendor verbally berated this food truck owner. Confused, she tries to tell the food truck owner that her cousin saw the food truck and thought her food looked good. That’s why she went there to make a purchase. This food truck owner says she just wanted to help “support” the other owner. She adds, “I’m not hating ‘cause you’re there.” She says she’s been nothing but “cordial” toward the other owner who shares customers in the same area as her.
In the end, this food truck owner decided to take the higher ground and not engage with this woman. She states, “I don’t want to lose my spot over a fight with someone. I don’t want to lose the money I’m making over a fight.” She cries as she tells her audience that she doesn’t understand why the other food truck owner couldn’t just have a conversation with her and resorted to being mean to her.
The video immediately garnered support and reactions from commenters. One commenter urged this food truck owner, “Do not let her bully you. I’ll pull up for you.” Another commenter stated, “She’s afraid of the competition but there’s plenty of room for everyone.” One commenter added, “Don’t give in to her jealousy or negativity! Some people can’t stand someone else’s success. We’re supposed to empower each other, not bring each other down.” The video continues to gain attention as commenters share their support and speak out about what she experienced.
