Madalas, sa labis na pag-aalala sa sitwasyon ng iilan, nakakalimutan natin ang mas malawak na epekto sa nakararami. Sa kaso ng mga nagtitinda sa bangketa, mayroon itong mga negatibong epekto:
1. Di patas na kumpetisyon, Ang mga nagbabayad ng buwis sa loob ng palengke ay nalulugi dahil mas pinipili ng mga mamimili ang mga nagtitinda sa bangketa na walang bayarin.
2. Kalat at Amoy, Nagdudulot ito ng dumi at masangsang na amoy sa mga pampublikong lugar.
3. Nagpapalala ito ng trapiko, lalo na during rush hours.
