The little boys will look at your shoes and even if they were done the day before, they will suggest you need one, and say "Only 1 sole!". Then in the middle of it, will start using another product then announce this is for preventing the wax from staining your pants, and now the price raise to 10 soles. Then you need to barter for less because you feel you've just been ripped off. Then of course a little buddy will approach you at a vulnerable time to sell you postcards or art work. They will also ask you for coins for your country "for their collection".

At Least Do This: It's a great opportunity to talk to the little guy and get to know him.
Alternative: Instead of giving in to the people that want money for every little service, go to the market and buy a dozen of oranges and distribute them among the kids. It will feel much better than buying stuff you don't need and it will give vitamins to the kids that need them most.
