Yup he asked me something around those lines. I didn’t really understand what he meant. I got a bad vibe and said no. Also he didn’t have a card to swipe and get in.

Be clear loud and to the point. These grifters don’t want to waste time so if you instantly convince them you’re not a mark they instantly move on. But if you’re too polite they see you as a mark that just needs more work in order to pay off somehow.

Thank you! Idk why some people feel the need to give an explanation 1. “No” 2. “F off” .. working just fine for me for the last 15 years

They think it’s rude to be straight forward. Suburban attitude.

They’ve gotten so bold!!! If you politely say “sorry I don’t have any money/change” they start asking if you have Venmo !! 🥲🥲

This is the answer. A sharp "NO" with a hint of "FUCK OFF" in your tone usually does the trick. Dont even make eye contact.
