Loose Change: It's all in how you ask!

My local Safeway store always asks me if I'd like to donate an extra dollar to their charity of the month. Call me a Scrooge, but I seldom donate.

In Denver recently, a Safeway store asked me if I'd like to donate my coin change to the same charity. I said yes. I would almost always say yes to this question.

Which question generates the most money for the charity?

Loose coin change. Much easier to say yes.

Kinda like the difference between a shake-down and "brother can you spare a dime?"

Great post. The loose change question has to generate more money. Who could say no to such a small request?

Don't know about you but I find I'm not as attached to change... I want to get rid of it... and I'm somehow more attached to dollars. Go figure! Great distinction on the part of the vendor.

I would have to agree with the small, loose change. Hate carrying all that extra weight!

Donating change is easier, would like to share this franchise opportunity which I came across -

should be a great business opportunity as they have over 23 years experience in franchising, offers support without all the usual franchise fees.

being intercepted by a vagrant is the easiest way of loose change.

Of course the last one, we have to know how ask a question.
