Sometimes layoffs happen, and it sucks. Suddenly rent is due and you have to take any shit job that comes by. Sometimes that shit job is canvassing, for which commissions are next to nothing. Bad jobs happen to good people, keep that in mind.

Do you have a card for people who don’t want to be constantly interrupted by advertising and corporate marketing/messaging? Maybe there is a ‘zone’ I could avoid on my way to buy a $30 sandwich for lunch at the local designer grocery store?

I just want one that says, “Dear Greenpeace: sales got us into this mess. It isn’t gonna get us out of it.”

“NO, THANK YOU.” works as well and costs less to print and recycle.

Walking the gauntlet to the bus mall or MAX train can be harrowing.
It’s easy enough to say to the canvassers, “I don’t feel like talking right now.”
But what to say to all the people who sit on the sidewalk or approach asking for spare change or a dollar? I seriously need a card. Or ten.

And don’t forget that these guys work on commission. If you want to make sure 100% of your donation goes to a non-profit, make it directly to the non-profit. These canvasses keep a commission of up to 50% of your donation!

Favorite.
I have 20 cards in my back pocket right now. Guarantee they’ll all be gone by the time I hit Burnside Bridge.
THANK YOU.
