Poor Anon, shit situation that this is presumably their only source of income, but if your job involves annoying people then you can't be too surprised that they get annoyed.

Yeah. I don't want a menu, I just want to walk down the street without being bothered by some restaurants' aggressive marketing plan. I'm not upset by the person handing them out, but I'm upset by the scenario I'm now forced to be in, and react accordingly.

I have no idea why they'd react so personally when it's obvious that people simply don't want a menu. It's mean to play pranks on someone just doing their job, but things like avoiding eye contact are just the socially acceptable way to avoid the awkward "Menu? No." scenario.

This person shouldn't be bothered at all by people ignoring them on the job.
