The charity people here border on harassment, have card readers, physically try to stop you or block you, and apparently none of what you donate actually goes to the charity, it's mostly paid out in commissions to rent seekers.

- lovehashbrowns 7y agoAre you talking about the charity people with clipboards in SF? They're seriously the most aggressive people I've ever seen. I'm surprised they have card readers now. I think they used to just write your credit card details on a piece of paper.
- dylz 7y agoBasically the same ones, yeah. Donating through them harms whatever cause you're trying to help.
- virgilp 7y ago> I think they used to just write your credit card details on a piece of paper. Why would you allow anyone to do that? :O
- dylz 7y agoWhy would you give your credit card to a random, uncredentialed person on the street just because they claim to help animals?
- goobynight 7y agoI'm try to respectfully decline them, but if they try to passive aggressively guilt me, I teeter on the cusp of countering by attacking back and trying to crack their self esteem. I haven't done it yet and wouldn't be proud of myself, but it would feel good.
- dylz 7y agoI've seen the ones here do shit like yelling these animals are starving and abused while you go home to your luxury apartment, keep on ignoring their cries-esque stuff
- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoTell them you plan on eating animal flesh when you get home.
- bryan_w 7y ago"All those animals would be dead in 15 years time anyways"
