Does it bother you when someone is at the doorway to a store, asking for money, or selling stuff for sports?

Seems every store has someone selling cookies, shaking cans for money for sports trips, the bells at christmas time and all the others asking. I realize that not every function/sport/person has enough money, but do they have to stop you going IN and then OUT of the same Wal-mart?

It does make me very uncomfortable When I'm out shopping, I usually have a limited amount of time, a shopping list a mile long, a fist full of coupons...and a relatively tight budget. It's not bad if an organization just has a table set up outside and they're selling home baked goods or something...then I can plan to buy a pie or cake from them on the way out. I think most people already have donated at their place of worship...and to their favorite charities.

I know we have, so it's rough to have to fork over more dollars for scouts and soccer...disaster relief and others. It's hard to turn down some cute kid shoving a candy bar in your face...but we just can't support them all and it's pretty uncomfortable to pass them by. There must be a better way for them to raise funds for their events.

Well, sometimes Sometimes it bothers me. Sometimes, depending on my mood and what the "cause" is, I’ll drop in a dollar. I might do up to five dollars a Christmas season, probably not that much.

Walmart isn’t convenient to me. I shop at Kroger, Target, or the local health food cooperative and a small privately owned grocery store. So far, they haven’t had people ringing bells or setting up tables selling things at the entrance.

I don’t mind the Salvation Army folks so much. A dollar isn’t much. But, sometimes I feel a little guilty passing them without putting something in.

If I do feel guilty, I usually don’t put anything in. I only donate if I want to. As far as people stopping me as I leave Walmart, especially if I donated on the way in, it does bother me a little and if I did give on the way in, I just say so.

If I didn't, and still don't want to, then I say not today again.

With my debit card, I rarely have cash anyway. I don’t like the practice either. It’s a ploy to use your conscience to gain funds.

People find it harder to turn down someone asking for donations face to face. When I do my holiday shopping, I try to get as much done in a single shopping spree as I can. When I’m going in and out of 9 or 10 stores, I’m certainly not giving a donation every time.

And I don’t feel guilty about it. I’m willing to donate to a charity that helps the less fortunate. I don’t give money to cheerleaders or sports teams.

I see many kids dropped off to "do their shift" by their mommies driving Hummers, etc. Little Jane and Johnny Doe’s activities aren’t a high priority for me. They can wear last year’s uniforms, or give up the trip to Aruba.(I haven't traveled to any exotic locales yet. I don’t want to help pay someone else's fare.

) With fewer people carrying cash, maybe this will become less lucrative. Of course, permits could always be issued with portable card readers . Google Map View Larger Map .

It is a minor annoyance. I do not mind it much. I rarely if ever buy anything as I get inundated with that stuff from friends, neighbors, work, family, etc... I find it east to say no thank you to people I do not know.So I "donate" enough to people I know.

I find that more of an annoyance...I think I would rather just give them ten dollars than buy a $20 tin of popcorn. I fiigure they will pay me back when my kid gets old enough to be selling stuff for whatever his hobby is... ;-) ChicagoTRS's Recommendations Boo! Popcorn Tins Amazon List Price: $29.99 .

It doesn't bother me, but I usually just walk past them with a polite no. There are so many fund raisers everywhere. You can't possibly buy from everyone you know.

Therefore, it is really impossible to buy from the random people selling at WalMart.

Do I have to pay something for selling out my stuff on amazon.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
