mall carnies 

Overly aggressive sellers from kiosks in the middle of the mall

Look away or those mall carnies will try to shine your fingers.

Those people who bug the shit out of other people to sample their wares or services they offer as you walk by them, usually kiosk workers.

I act like i'm talking on my phone as I walk through the mall carnies so they don't hound me.
