After i declined he said 'Awe please miss, i'm after gettin the bus all the way from Dublin to do this'
I felt kind of guilty but if it was GalwaySPCA or Madra i'd have no problem donating!

A lot of regular chuggers get 30% of what they take in.

What's worse are the ones that won't take change but instead want you to hand over your bank details. FOAD.

Was talking to one of my friends about this earlier and she said that Galway Bay fm announced on Saturday that there were guys going from door to door collecting for an animal charity and it was a scam. It's a bit too much of a coincidence really!

There's an odd logic that chuggers get paid; it's how they get people to do it for some charitits. You should always ask the chugger are they receiving a %.

I know for a fact that the guys on Grafton st Dublin who try to get you to sign up to charity by standing order are paid based on how many sign ups a day they get, and they aren't on minimum wage.

My sister volunteered for a day of chugging and was surprised to find out that she was given 30% of what she collected at the end of the day.
