Safeway here in Norcal is forever collecting money for some charity or another. They had the cashiers ask everyone that came thru to donate - a real pain when you go to the store every day or so.

Now they have wised up a bit and when you enter your ATM card pin the next screen asks if you want to donate to ___________. No verbal request from the cashier. If you do donate the cashier goes on the intercom and thanks her customer on her isle # ___ for the donation.

Much less pressure but I believe they are getting much less donations.

Still have to wade your way thru the people collecting donations outside the store.
