Man if a guy with 4 jars of pickles beat me out for a spot I'd probably just pack up my whole table and go home forever haha. But honestly the wholesale thing sounds way smarter, you get paid either way instead of gambling on foot traffic.

Is it really that big of a deal though? Like, the sun hits the whole bus, not just one side. I rode the 15 for two summers and yeah it gets hot but you just crack a window or deal with it for a few stops. Sitting on the left past Broadway means you're stuck staring at buildings and dumpsters instead of the park too. Maybe the driver was messing with you and now you're passing it on like it's some secret code. Some of these seat tips sound more like a lucky spot than actual science.
