I will sign petitions on issues I feel strongly about, but I shouldn't be asked for a donation request!

I don't mind being asked to sign petitions on issues I feel strongly about, but I shouldn't be asked to make a donation just for doing so!

It is so awkward when the cashier puts me on the spot like that. I just want to buy my milk and leave without feeling judged by the person behind me in line. Leave it for online or a bin by the door.

I do not appreciate being ambushed at the checkout line asking to donate money to any charity that I do not have time or preparation to properly research so I can see exactly where the money goes and how it is spent. It's being forced to acknowledge an open solicitation that is being an increasingly common practice in our daily lives. I think it is fine for a store to have signs and information available for any who are interested, but soliciting directly to a customer feels very invasive and annoying to me. Some people will even experience a sense of obligation purely out of guilt because they don't want to be perceived as stingy or cold-hearted. This practice of open solicitation at point-of-sale needs to stop.
