YES!!!!!!! Urgh, this is my great big annoyance this week.
I was so excited that I could place the food carts in other areas. I put the taco one in the park at Oasis Springs, and the tea one in Willow Creek's park. And I was so pleased with myself till I realised that if I wanted a cup of tea I had to fork out $100 to hire a flippin vendor! If I went to a park in real life, I wouldn't have to hire someone to come and attend the food stand, there would be someone there already. It's unrealistic. Uuuuuurrrrrrrgh!!!!!!
Yeah. I'm really grumpy about this.
I can easily mod it so that there is no fee (I did this for the drinks bar and coffee bar) but it's not ideal because I still have to hire them and it breaks the immersion. I just want a vendor or barista to show up on their own accord. If I own the venue, or it's on a residential lot, then fine. But if I'm a customer then I want someone to be there to serve me my tacos and tea dagnammit!!! :D :D :D
I really do hope the gurus address this. Because it's silly and frustrating. And it really limits the flexibility of these objects. My logic is: if I put a bar, coffee bar, or food stand on a community lot, then I obviously want an NPC to tend it. It's not there to look pretty. Something like a buffet table is different: it's more suited to special occasions where I might want it as a one-off.

At first I thought maybe if I gave them time that the vendors would show up on their own. A bit like how they open and close the stands in the city. So I was quiet at first while I tested them and played around with them some more. But after spending a couple of days at each lot nobody ever came to tend them. :(
That's funny, because I just discovered your mod to take care of the baristas and bar after I posted this, lol. Yes, a mod would help for the stalls, too, and that would certainly work, but it is so silly like you said that they can't just work properly to begin with. Any objects that I have to kick start myself tend to eventually get ignored for the most part.
