Over the weekend, community organizers surprised Juan Carlos Ramirez with hundreds of people from across the Bay Area who wanted to meet him and buy hot dogs from him and his family.
San Francisco street vendor whose hot dog cart was pushed by a public works worker employee thousands of dollars in supportIt's been a week since a San Francisco Public Works employee was caught on video pushing a street vendor's cart. On Monday, that street vendor is speaking for the first time.
"The video was awful so we decided to plan a buyout for him because pretty much when he pushed his cart. It's like you pushed everything he had because that is how he pays the bills. That is how he puts food on the table for his kids. That is how he pays rent," said Christian Fregoso, community organizer." I didn't imagine that I had so much support. There was a long line," said Ramirez.
Juan Carlos is hoping for other vendors to also get help saying many have been mistreated by city workers. The goals are to protect the health and safety of residents and visitors, to improve street conditions, create a legal path for street vendors to sell their goods while also meeting health and safety requirements, and help brick-and-mortar businesses thrive.
People who patronize unpermitted vendors risk getting a foodborne illness. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that each year in the United States 48 million people will get a foodborne illness, 128,000 of those will be hospitalized and 3,000 people will die. Foodborne illnesses are a serious issue and occur when food is prepared and handled in an unsanitary manner.
