Is it just me, or are the people looking for charitable contributions outside of supermarkets getting way too aggressive?

I mean, I like to give as much as the next guy. But not every single time I come out of Stop and Shop. It just seems to me that, first of all, they target you much more aggressively than years ago. And secondly, they give you dirty looks (and even mumble under their breath) when you say "not today."

And speaking of supermarkets, the people who can't figure out how to use the self checkout machines are just too dumb to function in society .
