Atlantic City hustlers- my story
Several years ago before they built up Atlantic City, beggars were teeming there. I remember one time in Bally's (back before the h-17 fiasco) when I had a beggar following me from table to table and after some time, he tried to extract money from me saying, "Hey man, we're a team!" When I told him politely I appreciate him rooting for me but I'm not here to give out money, he got a little mad. Luckily there was a security guard who apparently was a pro at his job because he picked up on what was happening and quickly escorted the gentleman out of the casino.
Trump Plaza was notorious for having beggars in there and I've had times in the past at the Borgata where nice looking ladies pretended to flirt with me, probably to also hustle me. I told them sorry gals, but I have a g/f. That seemed to shock them as they apparently weren't used to men saying no to them.
In AC, it's rare that you can walk up the boardwalk without encountering a few beggars. Whatever you do, don't walk late at night by yourself off of the boardwalk or Pacific Ave. Outside of those areas, AC is dangerous at night.
When I get approached by a beggar, now I just say to them, McDonalds is hiring. That pisses them off but it works.
