I hate the pitch. "Nancy, this is Colleen. How are you today. I do hope that you're doing well." And then a carefully orchestrated set of comments and questions, the "check" with the supervisor and kiss goodbye to $20 dollars. They hope.
They only get so far if the day has been fraught, the dogs are swarming me looking for food and a friend's at the door.
Next time I'll say faintingly, "Well, I'm doing better you know but the medicine costs so much that I've had to give up eating more than once a day and what with the rise in rent and the doctor's bills....It's so nice of you to ask. Can you help me with a small donation?"
I do give to charity but I know damn well these guys are not on our researched list.
