I've had several run ins with folks who are trying to use my store as a means to reach customers for their businesses. I've noticed a couple of variations.
A) People who leave stuff around my store
I've come across flyers for contractors, chinese restaurant menus, business cards for lawyers. One guy even stuck religious tracts on to a bunch of games on our shelves.
Had someone stick flyers for some kind of cleaning service on the outside of our windows.
B) Folks who work are, essentially my competition and trying to steal my customers.
I've had customers offer to buy other customers trades for more than we offer. While we can't stop this, we do have to tell the involved parties to conduct business outside of the store.
There was one guy who stood outside our shop for a couple of hours pimping his Xbox 360 repair service.
Had another guy stand near my counter and continually tell customers where they could get X for cheaper (where X was whatever product they were purchasing), my manager kicked him out pretty quick.
