While walking in downtown with Chipotle bag, I was talked to by a young black guy to ask for giving something. I said to him "sorry" as the meaning of rejection.
But he replayed to me again and again " why do you say sorry?""what do you sorry for?"
Is the word "sorry" not suitable for this situation to express NO?

I would say sorry + some reason, like "I'm sorry, but I gotta go." When people like him ask me for money, I simply say, "I only have credit cars, sorry." And then I just keep walking.
