I saw one of the cupcake trucks got kicked from their spot...right outside of a cupcake B&M. You are just asking for trouble in a situation like that. Some trucks are just stupid though.

Sad too because Big D's was amazing. I think a Halal cart called the cops on them. I think this is the spot Big D’s was last Thursday and got kicked out. Sad too because Big D’s was amazing.

Perhaps a better angle is to fight for the support of the landlords, whose biggest tenants by far are the large commercial ones with loads of lunch-buying employees, not the small restaurants. If these landlords realize that the trucks are an amenity highly valued by their tenants, the situation might well be remedied pretty easily.
