Insulting 

It’s a good thing to sell Street Sense. There’s a good side to it, but there’s a bad side to it too. People will insult you, most times. Most times they will say things like, “Hey, Cat in the Hat, take that hat off.” Or sometimes they will say, “Get a real job, dumb dumb.” One time, a lady called out to me and said, “Hey bubble head, all you need is a red nose and a pickle in your mouth, and I might buy a paper.” So, for our younger vendors, don’t ever get mad when someone talks bad about you. You better get used to it.
