On a packed street, have something to debit it in your pocket. You'll probably be within that distance of enough wallets to get enough to be worthwhile…
That is eavesdropping a transaction, not soliciting one. Plus every NFC transaction generates a new token. Even if you record it as the transaction takes place, that information cannot be used again.

Although that does sound like it's eavesdropping on the transaction, rather than picking up the card in your pocket.
