I walked out of the grocery store this morning. There were some young boys and one around 20 I think. That guy greeted me. Good morning! Good morning!
Can I ask you a question?
Eh no hear.
The boys were laughing. I just walked straight to my bike. Ain't nobody got time for that. He looked well dressed. He was not a beggar. More the seller type who wants you to be bound to pay for a Newspaper for months, which you never read.

The last time I listened and talked back was years ago with a Newspaper seller. Do you want this Newspaper? No thank you. I have no money for that. But it's for free! You really have to take this Newspaper. Okay then. After a month it's 20 a month or whatever. Okay then I don't want it.
YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS WANT EVERYTHING FOR FREE!!!!
NO!!!! I ALREADY SAID I DON'T WANT A NEWSPAPER!!!!

So to avoid such conversations I say: hm no hear.

What do you say? You don't have to pay if you answer lol.
 
I politely say “No thank you” and keep walking. If they persist, I either ignore them or just repeat “no thank you” and keep going.

I’ve learned, the hard way, that they want to engage me in conversation. The moment I engage is when they then have the upper hand, so I simply don’t allow that to happen.
 
You could take note of whatever establishment they are representing, go home
and call that company and report them for being aggressive and rude.
