Or the person who is really short on funds and cannot afford even the dollar is left being embarrassed, I think.
Our neighbor, down the street, is a cashier and she says they dread having to ask because they see smiles disappear instantly. Usually the check out process is a fun event with glib chatter, then it changes with that question.
Charitable contribution is a very private matter. Asking for money at the grocery checkout makes it very public. (or Publix). If we, as administrators, began sending out emails to or entire list of members, asking for a donation, we would be roundly criticized. I believe we would lose members.
