    I never said scouts are more deserving of fundraising for a case over a soccer team lol :confused::rolleyes:

    My point is it's irrelevant to me what the "charity" is, it's irrelevant to me the age/gender of the bag packer, it's irrelevant to me the attitude (bad or fake polite) of the bag packer ............. I don't like them there in my path so to speak .......... I want to walk in to a shop, select my items, pay for them and just leave

    but i put a €5 euro note in anyway , because to me being in the scouts and been given donations helped me do things as a kid and kept me off the streets etc so i saw them benefiting in the same way that i did. The continued to talk and curse, ignored me putting the money in the bucket and didn't even say thank you after seeing me put the money in. On my way out, I said to what seemed to be the team coach, that when someone donates money for a cause , a thank you would be nice and would go a long way. I got told to fcuk off . . . i sniggered at the coach, put my bags down against the wall, went back to till i came from and took my fiver back out of the bucket, went back to my bags where the coach

    A more effective approach would have been to call the manager of the supermarket and report the incident to him See how long the goodwill lasts. A follow up e-mail to the supermarkets head office would make sure they adequately screened who they were allowing fundraise in their shops.

    I especially despise football teams, the most ignorant,rude and disrespectful people of all i think....

    Jaysus... That's some fair quality tarring with the one brush there....

    Is it just Soccer or does that include Gaelic Football as well. How about Rugby... ball is shaped slightly differently so maybe that impacts it slightly...????

    Is begging legal in Ireland? Begging in the street by homeless people? Or what about busking? Is it legal?

    Begging is not legal. They did try to outlaw begging but that has been struck down by the courts.

    Nothing illegal about busking per se. If they were causing an obstruction they could be asked to move on.
