I think most people will look at what thay are being asked to donate to. Most poeple are clued in to international charities and some national ones. Smaller communities have the advantage of knowing the who and wherefore and will act accordingly. Collectors in these situstions are giving their time which is equally valuable. As a rule they are not trained in song and dance routines to amuse so I guess its their loss if they don't float your boat.
Some of those local clubs standing at the other side of the till depend on local support to survive. It irritates me also but I also get why they do it. I have recently suggested at a local meeting for a local cause that something more productive than just standing there may be received better.
Detested every waking moment of it which is why I daydreamed my way through it. Gravitated toward the messers and never mastered the art of not getting caught.
