Whenever I go shopping, there are 1 or more charities asking for donations outside the store. Not Salvation Army, but charities who say they are collecting for the homeless. Then I go to pay for items inside and the clerk asks me if I want to donate also. It gets annoying. I don't have this happen in other Inland Empire cities, only in San Bernardino and Redlands. Anyone else deal with this?

Happens here, but not outside of WinCo or Target. I tend to ignore them and just walk on by. There was a very loud woman with some random charity set up outside of the RC Walmart who loudly and sarcastically yelled "Thank you sir, you have a wonderful Christmas" when I passed her by on the way out. I loudly responded with "I would, if I observed it."

The Girl Scouts selling cookies outside of Stater Bros in S. Fontana are the only ones who lure me in, but that's only because I'm addicted to Thin Mints and those lemon cookies, and I don't mind helping the GS out a bit.

Don't even get me started on the double phalanx of Jehovah Wits flanking the door to Master's Donuts in Southridge Plaza in S. Fontana. They're relentless, but not as relentless as my ability to ignore them.

I didn't know JW sat outside businesses. I thought they just went door to door. That's terrible!

They'll cut you off in parking lots and say, "I think you should read this", or "this is for you".
