'Chuggers' shunned as Britons try to dodge charity donations - Home News, UK - The Independent

NP'Chuggers' shunned as Britons try to dodge charity donations - Home News, UK - The Independent: "The poll shows that two-thirds of people will cross the street to avoid 'chuggers' or charity muggers.

More than a quarter admitted to falsely having told a charity worker that they had already given money to their colleague. A similar proportion said they had told a Big Issue seller that they had already bought a copy of the magazine. Nearly half of all Britons admit to telling a street collector that they have no change and 7 per cent said they had haggled over the price of an item in a charity shop."
