They used to even touch people, but they don't do this any more. I wonder if someone reacted in a physical manner at some point.The stalking is against mall policy, and they supposedly get fined for it - but they haven't been evicted yet. So about once a year, I have to annoy the crap out of them in order to stop them from annoying the crap out of me every time I step foot in the mall.

I don't even remember what she was selling, but one of the mall kiosk people did her thing. Instead of retreating like we normally would have, we had her jump through hoops and entertained ourselves for about 15 minutes. It took her a while to realize we were goofing on her. Normally I'm with you, though - I get annoyed with the aggressive come-ons. .-= Evan Kline´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/40tech/~3/qVyiSdvi0GQ/">Brizzly – Twitter Made Easy, Yet Better</a> =-.
