They feel that it is below their dignity to purchase something from such a small shop. Even if they look at the shop, they grumble that the shop is spoiling the landscape with its ugly, artless paint and dirty signboard.
They do not care for the wild berries, squash or pictures that have been kept for sale at the stand. The stand owners only need some money because they hope to make their lives the way it is depicted in movies.
