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.

I have no idea what kind of job this would be to cause so much disdain. Is "menu" a weird translation for pamphlet or something?

Sounds like food work to me.

People will go out of their way to remind you that you aren't a person to them. Hell you're not even a living thing to them. You're just some piece of garbage they have to deal with.
