    In fairness to cashiers, they’re not the ones spearheading these campaigns. They’re in the same boat as you except that their job security is contingent upon them presenting a donation option.

      Yes, I fully understand that … the ones that bug me are the young new workers who haven’t learned the realities of these dumb marketing tricks and instead look at you like a cheap angry old man for not wanting to donate. It usually takes them about a week or two before the reality sets in that most people don’t like these marketing ploys … then it takes another two weeks for them to figure out why … then they finally become the sullen cashier that mechanically goes through the motions of asking and then not really caring what your response is.
