Don't you hate when you get asked to donate a dollar to a cancer fund when you're checking out at Wal-Mart?

Question

I always feel bad for saying no, because they're so many people around and everything...but whatever...I'd rather donate to my own funds.

Answer 1

I almost always do. I have a hard time saying no to them! =)

Answer 2

You're right and don't feel bad. Just tell them that you already have funds set aside for donations.

Answer 3

I donate a dollar every few months.. but I don't feel bad saying no.

Answer 4

They know asking gets more donations than not asking.

I don't hate it when people ask, but I, like you, prefer to donate to my own causes.

Answer 5

I dont mind that they ask. But I would rather give my money somewhere where I know the people will actually get it. I prefer local cherities because they help people in my area.

Answer 6

well then Joel, tell them straight that u have your own fund.
they'll sure get it. but then again babe, $1 is not that much isnt it? so u can help many more people when u donate to both funds, aint it babe? *winks*

Answer 7

that's fine to not want to donate, but to say you hate it is a little offensive. In any event, you should not feel bad saying no. if it makes you feel better, you could say "No thanks, I donated yesterday."

Answer 8

Alot of places do this and I usually donate my change.

Answer 9

No. I donate all the time, so their "Dollar" is nothing.

Answer 10

No, they have to ask. Every single person. And I can guarantee you're not the first to say no.
