It's worse here. After you get dunned at checkout, there are almost always some kids waiting for you as you exit the door. It's Girl Scouts selling cookies, young boys in coat and tie, asking for donations for their Glee Club and on and on. It's always kids. I have donated a lot in the last year to causes I care about, but I get irritated about being asked twice as I try to get home from grocery shopping. And there there are the panhandlers at most big intersections around here.
