A Public Vote On Chuggers

I know it’s only a newspaper poll on this page in Her Majesty’s Daily Telegraph, but it does give a definite result. On the subject of chuggers, where 641 have voted, 621 voted to say that a crackdown on chuggers was necessary and only 20, has said their tactics were sometimes necessary. This means that 96.88% are in favour of a crackdown.

So I think that this animosity, doesn’t do charities any good!

As I’ve said before, I never support any charity that I see chugging.

These days too, I usually have a few pound coins in my pocket for coffee, good buskers and worthy tins waved in front of me

  1. I was a chugger for a while, it’s good pay but I hated the job so I left. It’s horrible. People are really rude and I figured I’d do better for the charity doing sponsored events and such…

    • I’ll admit I’ve been rude on occasion to chuggers. But what do you say when someone surprises you after you’ve just had a stroke and can’t see properly? luckily, there was no accidents.

      I now make sure, I avoid areas, where they work. I always wonder what would happen if the Save The Tiger ones, paraded outside the Chinese embassy.

      • Haha that would be pretty entertaining. I know, I was once running to get somewhere and one stopped directly in my way and was like ‘do you have a minute?’
        I’m sorry but does it look like you have a minute when you’re legging it down the street?!
        I think I was just overly aware of how annoying I was being as a chugger and perhaps that’s why I wasn’t cut out for it.
