I live and work on Martha's Vineyard at a small organic farm stand. The relationship between locals and tourists is complicated - locals find tourists annoying but the local economy depends on them. Working long hours with coworkers turns them into a second family, though one coworker, Bob, is constantly criticizing customers and younger generations. Life on the island goes on through the ups and downs of dealing with customers and each other.

1. I live and work on Martha’s Vineyard I work at this place, Fiddlehead Farm

2. We run out of a tiny building, most of our produce is in buckets outside

3. We sell all-natural and organic food products. The prices are crazy but don’t
scare off the tourists

4. All the tourists seem the same to the locals
Greasy and/or
salty hair
Annoyed with
someone who
works here
Shitty t-shirt he
bought yesterday

5. I guess you could say locals are all the same too
Tired eyes
Annoyed by
tourists
Peace sign shirt

6. But we can’t survive without each other so life goes on

7. Crazy Tourists: Tattoo Hater Guy

10. Crazy Tourists: Coffee Guy

11. Sometimes ‘crazy’ doesn’t cut it for
the tourists But ‘bat shit insane’ usually works
What the hell do
you mean?!
We’re about I’m the CUSTOMER!!
You’re out of coffee,

make some more.
Sorry I can’t

12. What about YOU? I’m sorry but like Rebecca said

13. Cue the meltdown…
This is so wrong

Don’t count on
me coming back
Make an exception!
I’m a fucking customer!

14. Things I’d Like to Say to Rude Tourists

15. Oh no, that’s fine just unfold I’m so sorry that I planted those peach
every fucking shirt I just trees in California as an infant
spent 40 minutes putting away and sold them to a store
I work at and then sold them
to you for $12 a pound
I’m sorry, you don’t seem to understand,
I don’t give a shit about your
vacation. Don’t be a bitch, or I’ll put my
finger on the scale when
I weigh your produce.

16. Crazy Local: Asks Me Out Guy

17. Here comes regular Frank, with kids this
time Yeah they’re trying to
find someone cute,

and here is Sarah

18. After that every time he came in I hid in the stock room
Just tell me

19. Spending 60+ hours a week with the same people turns them into your
second family

20. But they can be a cool family
Your
Bob… generation…

21. Crazy Coworkers: Bob

22. Bob spends most of his day making fun of customers

23. But he loves to make fun of “our generation” even more

to technology
I wouldn’t be surprised if you
went through withdrawal

24. But we cope

find a land line for you
