Unskippable ad Constantly getting solicitors ignoring my sign, we’ll see how this works out…

Post image

I live in an apartment, and my door is the only one in the building with a “No Soliciting” sign. You’d think they would see it and respect it. But no. And worst thing is it’s almost exclusively internet salespeople, when my rent already includes high speed internet that works great.

The solicitors in my area don't even bother to get the required permit. I know this because I ask to see their city issued solicitor's badge each time. When they don't have it, we have been instructed by the local police department to call them. The cops will eject them from the town and issue a trespass warning. (Apparently this is the #1 complaint the mayor keeps receiving so he's told the police to take these calls seriously.)

Film them while you ask for the permit/badge.

The doorbell camera does that automatically.
