I know when I am at an open market (we have lots of farmer's markets here in San Diego that serve tons of great food) I will only eat desserts that are either individually wrapped or covered in some way. Especially during summer when there's flies everywhere, why do these people get these silver display plates (it's nearly always these types) and not the glass cover for them?
And if you own a cupcake shop, why the heck aren't your cupcakes fully enclosed in glass?
I personally have gone into sweet shops, saw how things were just out in the open (Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is a place that does this for a lot of their products too) and just turned around and left.

I have not seen a fly since we moved to Texas. It is too hot and too windy even for mosquitos.
I take it you aren't in Dallas! Plenty of them here.
I get what the OP is talking about, though. Nothing more nauseating than seeing flies on food. At the very least, covering the food would prevent it from drying out.
Packaging (aluminum foil aside) gives a "blehhh" taste to whatever item it is covering. If the pastries are in a glass case, why would they need to be covered?
you cover them up, and it can kill the impulse/presentation
im in the food business, and we have done velocities on just this subject, and sales can easily drop 50% if covered.
a question to the op??????
you ever see an open air European food market?????????????????? at least this stuff is under glass
you ever stop at the farmers markets??? all the foods out on tables, not under glass,,,,flies and sneezing customers everywhere,,and worse, customers,,, will be handling the produce on the tables even if they don't buy
if this is a business/bakery perhaps they already tried covering them up and it killed sales- who the heck is someone else to tell a particular business owner they are doing it wrong/incorrect??
you can certainly ask why---but to conclude they are WRONG/incorrect is just wrong
Seriously, this is an issue? It is not even an issue, it is a non-issue, there is nothing wrong with displaying not "covered" or "individually wrapped"; I do not even understand how you think they should be.
What is the next complaint, open air fish for sale?
We're becoming a hermetically sealed, shrink wrapped society. It's sad. Everyone wants to live in an impervious bubble.
