Apparently they're on a fairly good commission so if you want to actually
support the charity they're >representing, it's more beneficial to them if
you find a different way to donate.
First thing I ask when being solicited like this is how much the
organization they're representing will get. Most recently haven't even been
close to 50% - last one stated 12% !

In fact most annoying of all are professional fundraisers. They are worse

use these shiny faced young people on every downtown street corner. I'm
tired of having guilt thrown in my face every 20 feet or so.
Yeah we had them occasionally. We called them "chuggers" which is short
for "charity muggers." Apparently they're on a fairly good commission so
