These people are parasites and the companies they work for are parasites.
They want you to go on a direct debit scheme – however, the collection company takes the first 15 to 18 months of donations before the charity sees a single cent.
I always engage them when they want to talk to me, simply asking them “Are you a volunteer?” When they answer “No”, I simply walk away.
If they try to press the issue, I then happily blast them with the morally disgusting statistics of how long they and their company soaks up the money before the charity sees it.
I had to google that term. Chugger - charity mugger. Laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteChuggers are charity muggers - damn annoying people. If I want to donate I will, I don't want to sign up for a year of direct debits.
ReplyDeleteChuggers ... the term is new to me.

They should be ashamed of themselves.
Tbh, a "chugger" would not take your negativity on board. Sales is a numbers game and only those in control of their own emotions last.
