Market 28

[ChrisnCancun]

Ok last time we were at market 28 we had a overall fun time but it could have been a little better if we weren't hassled to death by what i call "roopers". The guys that try to get you into a shop and show you everything to earn a little money. At first I didn't mind but this guy who called himself cheapo phillipo followed us everywhere. Every shop we went into he would constantly grab stuff off the shelf and ask us if we wanted to buy it. We just like to browse around and relax. We are going again in a few weeks and I was wondering if there was something I can say or do in a friendly manner that could make them understand that we don't need their constant attention?

I know this is Mexico and not the US but how do you locals deal with them when you go to these places?

It can be annoying but we just smiled and said no thank you. The 1st time i went to cancun was with my best friend and they was trying to look up our skirts and say free for feel and smile..we just kept walking and about died laughing lol

I find it simple enough to say, take your choice, depending on how badly you are bothered. Use the last one sparingly.

No gracias - No thank you.

Estoy (Estamos) bien gracias - I am (We are) fine thanks.

No se me moleste por favor. - Do not bother me please.
No se moleste nosotros por favor. - Do not bother us please.
