As you might have guessed by my tone, I get irritated by it, but that is in the U.S. in OUR culture (we generally do not eat decapitated frogs either).

I found it entertaining and because they didn't harass us there was no displeasure other than the question of authenticity of what they were selling.
Also, I was told this is what many do around the world to survive - not bootleg necessarily - which I've seen in other countries - so the idea of selling on the streets for a living if that's your only option is appealing to me.
I watched teenage girls peddle in Mexico - hawking cheap bracelets on the streets - thinking these peddlers with little hope for more than money for food and clothing may be destined to a life of hand to mouth.
It also caused me to reflect on my fellow Americans who scorn working minimum wage when they have no other skills as if it's below their dignity - or creating a job such as cleaning the gutters of the elderly, etc.
That's anothe topic - having taught high school ten years I know the biases of public education.
BUT any lessons here for sales in general?
