NO GRACIAS! explain to me

Well said Jeff, my thoughts exactly. I would add that it is my observation that those who are the most dismissive of vendors and gum/candy peddlers are domestic tourists, not 'gringos'.

I guess you missed the part where Avi said he approached English-speaking people to practice his English. Those would not be nationals. Avi carries no gum, candy or other trinkets except perhaps for his personal use. Just a friendly smile.

It's fine to be dismissive of vendors. Being dismissive of vendors is not necessarily being rude. Personally I find it rude that folks disturb me to try to sell me something when I am obviously not looking to buy anything.
