Just do it. Be polite, smile, nod, be your self, know what you do and be prepared to explain.
That's all there's to it.

Cheers,

I watched Jeff Mermelstein's videos before, and He's perfectly right when he says "it's only in New York that you can..."
If Jeff used the same approach to photograph people in my city as He does in N.Y., most probably He could get nothing more then a broken nose here.

But to come back to the point, i'm not interested in great famous photographer's techniques.
I'm interested in this forum's great photographer techniques. The "common" people as I am (hope not to hurt anybody's feelings)

Best
