I prefer to choose my charities based on their financial and general track record, and if I believe in the cause, you know, silly shit like that. I do donate, just not at Wal Mart to random organizations that may or may not even be real or trustworthy.
Well now I understand, you're just a cheapskate. Really you should have mentioned that in the story from the beginning it would have cleared everything up.
They have to have some kind of legitimate business in order to stand at those entrances. Walmart and many others aren't going to allow them to panhandle at their door. They have to have some kind of credentials in most cases. Walmart especially doesn't like their name involved in any "fishy business". Bad for their rep.
I can sympathise. I like to know that a charity is legit. Salvation Army and Goodwill are legit charities, and I donate to them. If I am going to donate to a legit charity, I usually do it on my own time.
Do solicitors at store entrances infuriate you?
