7 Reasons Why The Hot Dog Cart Guy Hates You
We all love a tasty street dog -- and Dante's Inferno Dogs are the best in the city. That's the hot dog cart you'll find at the Ballard Sunday Market, in front of King's Hardware and the High Dive, and the U-Village, among other locations. Founder Dante Rivera himself is the most generous of men; he's here to serve your sausage needs one hundred percent. 
But you know what? Even a patient businessman like Dante gets ticked off by you grubby customers every now and then. Without further ado, here are the top 7 reasons why the hot dog cart guy hates you:
7. You Don't Follow Our Rules
"The thing that makes our operation unique that we insist on dressing all the dogs ourselves," explains Rivera. "People just don't seem to understand that they can as much or as little toppings as they want, but we have to put it on ourselves. People get somewhat infuriated due to that fact. And if that's the case, then we ask them to walk away. Sorry, but that's the way we do things."
6. You Don't Pay Attention
"People will wait in line for 20 minutes, and then they'll get up to the cart and say, 'hey, what do you have?' Even though they've been staring in the line for the last 20 minutes."
5. You Don't Know What You're Talking About
"People often walk up to the cart and they're all proud of themselves, they think they know what they're doing, and they'll say, 'hey give me the works!' So you start giving them the works - kraut, mustard, relish, ketchup - and then all of a sudden they're like, 'whoa, whoa, wait a minute, I don't like onions! Whoa, cream cheese on a hot dog?' I like it when people say 'give me the works' if they actually mean 'give me the works.'"
