Just now at Food Lion some idiot tried to hand me a religious tract while I was walking in, I walked past him and said, "There is no such thing as a magic man with super powers." I didn't hear a response, nor did I care, nor was I looking at him when I said it. I was out to shop and had a cab waiting on me.
Rude? No, rude is disturbing me when nobody asked you. I don't like any type of peddling like that. I am old enough to figure out where a church is if I want to. I also would not want you trying to sell me a vacuum cleaner or set of Time Life books or try to get me to sign up for a credit card.
You try to peddle that crap to me like that, I am going to do the same thing every time. "Go away, don't bother me."
I just find it funny that the de facto religion of the Western world still feels the need to hand shit out to people in person. I mean, like you say, we're well aware of the 'good' news. Moreover, it's nearly 2018... a fucking flyer isn't going to impress anyone in our era of hyper media.
Regarding the legality of such people passing out flyers, it's not as cut and dry as you think. If it's happening on private property (which a grocery store is, even if it's open to the general public), they don't have the right to be there to peddle their shit. Especially if they're making shoppers uncomfortable. In cases like this, you should request to speak to a manager and let them know that someone is using their ingress/egress point to spread a religion to the shoppers.
But, yeah, it's bullshit. If these people's religion was so strong and awesome, it would speak for itself. It wouldn't need people harassing people at shopping centers.
