Olivia said that she would wash, weigh and package the potatoes for Pedro. Olivia and Pedro chatted while Olivia was preparingthe potatoes. When Olivia hadfinished preparing the potatoes, Olivia mentioned to Pedro that Robert was selling organic tomatoes and Pedro should take a look at the tomatoes. Pedro said he would return to Olivia's stall and pick up the potatoes when he had completed his shopping. Pedro paid Olivia the $ 20 price before he left. While Pedro was shopping, a truck, owned by Neil, backed into Olivia's market garden stall, destroying 100% of her vegetables.
