Maybe it's time for customers to start being more forceful about our
objection. I have no qualms about telling them no, but I am sure that a
lot of others are easily intimidated. I don't mind them having some sort
of jar or something for people to put their change in for the charity of
the week, but I really resent being asked to donate $2 to a charity of
their choice. I had a hard enough time with a charity that I worked with
when they wanted me to donate. I told them flat out. I am giving you
10-15 hours a week of my time. I should not have to pay to do that.
