I don't pay them any attention. Most organizations that get permission to be on supermarket properties have an agreement with the supermarket that they do not "harass" the patrons if they want to stay. For example Salvation Army. Never seen this done on public areas. What many consider or think is public ground (at least here anyway) is not really public. It's either owned by the city or the state (which would require a licenses) or other surrounding businesses or homeowners. ( possibly also requiring licenses).

@metaldog ...
Now I guess that depends on where you live.
If you live where I do, that is not permitted. Panhandling is not permitted.
Here... requires all business “engaged with activities associated with a tax or fee" to acquire a seller's permit, also called a "sales tax license." The application for a seller's permit specifically lists many of the types of activities that require registration with the state.
Peddlers do not permanently occupy a space like a traditional business, peddlers are still subject to the same laws as other businesses here. Therefore, peddlers here are also required to obtain business tax receipt. And, the tax receipt must be visible in the peddler's cart or display. Here, acquiring these licenses touchdown on the Riff Raff organizations or people that you claim harass people at supermarkets and public places.
Basically the bottom line is if they have licenses and they start harassing the public and they're reported, their licensing may not ever be renewed and they may be shut down. I've seen it happen.
Furthermore I do not engage with people that are harassing others on sidewalks otherwise known as riff raff. I let the riff raff engage with them. 🤷
I have better things to do and spend my energy on that is more constructive and not left up to animal instincts.
* Diffferent states have different laws for those of you that like to simplify things so much just to make yourself right.
