Oh, for pete's sake. My parents sometimes said "No, you're not getting ice cream / toy / whatever else" and that was that. Sometimes they even said no when the ice cream man was parked for a long time at a park or some other place. They didn't send the guy off or try to distract. No meant no. Seriously, people need to get some backbone.
