The Pan Handlers outside of King Soopers everday

You know what? I'm getting a little sick and tired of getting shook down every time I walk into King Soopers to get a 8 pieces of Chesters Fried Chicken..If it's not the Girl Scouts it's the Boy Scouts, and if it's not the Boy Scouts it's the Little Leaguers, and if it's not the Little Leaguers it's the girls vollyball team, and if its not the girls volleyball team its the Vetrans or some kids in wheelchairs..C'mon- Enough already!

I don't mind the guy ringing the bell around Christmas but this everyday a new charity thing is too much.

I'm about to get rude

"DON'T ASK ME FOR MONEY!"

(Should I feed him? Hmmmm.... Ok...)

I don't agree with you. I would get rid of the annoying bell ringer too!!!

They are trading goods for money. Little entrepenuers.

They are annoying.

Got to admit I tend to walk the other way to avoid them. I prefer to donate without being asked to.

But when it's my charity or non-profit involved... the more money colected the better! lol

I agree. Visible and off to the side is just fine. Obstructing traffic and in your face is annoying.

Oh, by the way VL, got an extra 10 bucks I can borrow for beer tomorrow?

Is it really that hard to just say sorry I'm not interested?

After all - in the mind of the "progressive" at least - we pay taxes to provide charity - right?

Yes because thats not what i'm thinking when they start begging...I'm thinking, " Don't ask me for money" I got 6 kids and a wife who do that everyday, I don't need it at King Soopers

I have to agree, VL; KS needs to rethink their policy for allowing charities to solicit. Having the entrance blocked by folks on both sides is irritating. I have to run that gauntlet every day going back and forth to work downtown. That's enough. Having a couple of folks there at a table or one person with a coffee can is one thing, but it's gotten out of hand IMO.
