Eiffel Tower: Gypsies at long lines

You will see gypsies in Paris, they are usually pick-pocketers. I also saw bunch of them with small notes asking for money approaching tourists waiting at the long line for Eiffel Tower. I've been waiting in line for 2 hours, saw the same note with different writing from 2 different gypsy girls. I saw generous tourists giving them money, especially young rich teenage tourists. I saw them asking for money up and down the line twice in 2 hours. I had to laugh...one of them was very chunky and didn't look like she was starving..

At Least Do This: Just say "No". Beware of the pick pocketers, if you feel a person following you too closely and keep bumping into you then turn around and give them a mean nasty glare.
