    I do…don’t ask me to donate to a billionaire if you don’t want to hear my reason why I don’t. It’s always polite, you idiots seem to think I’m being an aggressive asshole.

      As if the cashier is trying to engage in a discussion of class. As if they aren’t paid to ask. Just say no and feel secure with your own reasons without having to justify yourself. It’s like when I worked at ace hardware in high school and every boomer would need to tell me how dumb it is to phase out incandescent light bulbs. Trying to preach to someone about your convictions against their will is so pointless and annoying.

        Or…I can address questions that are asked to me and provide me reasoning in a non condescending way to hopefully educate others on the subject…

        Who’s preaching…I’m not starting the topic of discussion, they are. In your words, they are being paid to start this conversation. I don’t go shopping to be asked to give money for nothing, so if they open with that discussion they will know my reasoning for not donating.

        Don’t see what your frustration with manufacture changes has to do with a company directly begging for free money from its customers but ok…

          They must start the topic to have the job. They likely already know. They likely don’t care. Your game forces them to pretend to care. You are holding them hostage because their genuine reaction would be to ignore you but they can’t do that while working. You are causing them mental pain. You are forcing them to be something they aren’t until you leave.
