Wasn’t insinuating that the tourist was to blame. And I do agree there are some vendors that don’t know when to quit and can be quite intimidating to some. However I’ve found the vast majority of vendors/weed sellers etc ply their trade and when politely declined move on. The character of the many trying to eek out a living shouldn’t be judged by the actions of a few.
I also feel people need to be more polite in general. Countless times I’ve seen tourists pass by an inquiring vendor like they didn’t exist or cursed them and shooed them away like they were a stray dog. That’s not right either. Say something, at least acknowledge them, even if it’s just saying no thank you.
