Trust me that canning is more lucrative than working in McDonald's- groups were known to bring an easy four figure sum in one day (sizable groups in a populated location)... in Indiana.
I don't think most McDonald's employees (at least non-corporate ones) pull down that kind of money in a couple of hours.
We would can for our Dance Marathon, and people would stop for us and most groups (sororities, fraternities, dorms, etc). You usually had a cute guy or pretty girl standing in the middle of the street with a big DM can, usually with face paint and philanthropy shirts on. Its a good draw. I found people were overwhelmingly receptive.
There may be a law against it in Indiana though because I thought we were prohibited from doing it senior year.

Do the math. 4 figures for a 50 member organization is not that lucrative. That works out to $20 per member. McDonalds in my area pays about $8/hour x 8 hours x 50 members = $3200 for each day of work.
