I don't know about other folks so I won't speak for them, but if I was allowed to just shop the beach without someone trying to push everything on me I guarantee I would spend more money. My auto response now is a polite "no thank you" and I wish it wasn't that way. I'm sure I pass up a lot of things I might buy just because I don't have the stomach for the hard sell. I know it's their livelihood and I have it better in many ways, blessed for sure, I just wish they would let me shop, for sure I would spend more.
