The last time this sort of thing happend was over 8 years ago. A
couple of singers with their guitars came into my shop,
accompanying an apparrently a deaf girl. The premise was that my
dollars would help pay for her livelyhood, or act as a tip for
their wonderful unsolicited music, or something.
I had something similar happen several years ago when I
worked at a local computer shop. I was on the phone walking
a customer through something when these two musicians, one
with a guitar, walked into the store and burst into an
impromptu performance of "feliz navidad". I stood up and
shouted at them, "Guys! I'm on the phone!" - My boss at the
time also wasn't pleased and promptly told them to GTFO.
I already have my outfacing window plastered with theDon't forget to add "No loose change for the parkimeter"
international symbols for "no food or drink", "no toilet paper",
and "no public toilet". Perhaps I should add the one for "no
soliciting".

No parking meters on our rural streets.
I don't mind helping people out if they are short of change for
a purchase (I keep about $10 of spare change to cover that).
I've paid the cab fair to send people home too.
I'm pretty sure I posted a picture in one of the echoes of the
signs on my neighbor's shop door. I'll get a fresh picture and
post that; there is NEW stuff since last time.

Most of these people never end up making a purchase.
If it was only 1 or 2 I would not mind, since it is a lot of people I risk having my change depleted so it is a no-no.
The problem here is that my business is the last open
business in this street, and the area is loaded with parking
meters. Solots of people end up walking up to my shop
because they want change.
A good percentage of them are actually trying to pass me
counterfeit money.

Sounds like a modern district then. I was picturing the quaint,
ancient, dark, narrow, foggy streets depicted in "The Shadow of
the Wind"

I know, however, that you can pay the parking with a mobile app
nowadays.
Here, you can pay for parking with coins, credit/debi card or phone app. P of choices. )

You are not wrong: it is an old neighbourhood, foggy and by
the river.
It is just they are putting parking meters everywhere :-(
I have less of a counterfeit problem now that itinerant
markets are banned due to covid. It was always the itinerant
sales people who were trying to pass me counterfeits. Also
counterfeit perfume and soap. Then gypsies complain that
everybody associates them with counterfeits HAHAHAHAHAHA.
circulate amongst their own kind. I'm thinking.. how would that
help ME if the newsletter is for THEM, and they probably don't
have time to read. I just brush them off by saying.."I'm sorry,
but [1] there is no way for me to confirm that I am speaking to
a legitimate officer", and [2] "I don't see how a small
circulation like your newsletter is a benefit to me." Then we
agree to hang up on each other. I'm thinking, "gypsies"?

We just got paying with a phone app for parking meters here in my city.
Then shortly after they were installed there was a "controversy"
because the data for the app was bring processed/stored in the US.
I don't usually park anywhere that required me to pay & if I do I keep some spare change in my car for just such an occasion. It's usually cheaper to drop a couple of coins in the machine than paying with the
app anyway.
I was going to visit your farmacia to check an address and maybe
see if I can get a google streetview, but I can't seem to reach
your site:

as an added fee. Depending on where you park the price is different
per hour (or per 30 minutes) - Where we parked last the price on the
meter was $1 per hour but the price in the app was $1.50 per hour.
