Pesky kids trying to get your money

Along the central street of Pilgrim's Rest, there are a number of teenagers who try various creative ways to get your money. Some do dances, some offer to wash your car or windshield, and some try to sell you souvenirs. They are not violent and are not thiefs - just aspiring capitalists. However, after a while, they get annoying. Just be firm and keep telling them no.
