I don't know if they sit there and give each other dirty looks, or try to undercut each other - but it seems like it could get a little awkward. We'll buy our tree from one of them, but how do we decide? The trees all look the same - like christmas trees. Maybe we should let lilly sniff out the best one. Where do people possibly put full size christmas trees in their manhattan apartment, anyway? We are getting a small one and put it on one of the end tables, but most of their trees are big, so they must sell a lot of them...
It reminds me of a funny story that chris, curt and katie told me about their trip to ellis island. They waited in a really long line for the ferry that took them to the island. There was a guy who had set up a cart selling pretzels and ice cream (or some sort of snacks) right next to the line. Another guy came and set up his cart right next to the first guy, on the side that was closer to the end of the line, so people would get to his cart first. The first guy yelled at him and moved his cart to the other side of the second guy's cart. Then the second guy moved his cart again so he was further down the line. They just kept yelling at each other. And when a woman went to buy something from one of them, they were so busy yelling at each other that she wasn't able to. So i wonder if we should have a backup plan for buying the christmas tree, in case those guys are too busy yelling at each other across the street... luckily there is another tree "lot" on the next block!
