I have been in the Market many times and have observed these things: Now, realize that you are not the only bike rider. Imagine multiple people putting their bike on your expensive window, and *crack* goes the window when the person stumbles over the bike. Also imagine one person after the other coming in and NOT buying anything but wanting to use the bathroom (There are bathrooms at the trailhead down by the Highway), and wanting free water and ice. Repeatedly. Some biker's want to come in and be catered to without spending a dime. One guy stuffed toilet paper down their toilet and it overflowed then he made some rude comment on the way out. Another biker had diarrhea all over the place in the market, walked around and left. Another group plugged in their electonic devices to charge them. Those folks at the market have to pay for water, ice, and electricity. They are there to make a profit, and get no perks from the katy trail folks. I have seen the owners help people who were stranded or had health conditions. You treat them right, they will treat you right. If, on the other hand, you come into the Market and act like you are entitled, don't be suprised if you aren't treated with open arms.

They are there to make a profit, and get no perks from the katy trail folks........Seth Meyer's on SNL would say REALLY?....Now Really? They make NO money from anyone who rides the Katy? Really??

Thanks for the lecture UknowMe, it was a learning experience. That explains the rude behavior from the lady behind the counter. I apologize for the intrusion and inconvenience of having lunch and buying snacks for the trail there, I didn't know. It won't happen again.

Seriously, I don't think I was oozing excrement as I walked around gather up snacks, didn't see any sign of that, but we will just asume all trail users do that. A simple note at the trail head would take care of these problems at the market in Mokane.

Snarkily yours,
