I realize you don't care for this method of fundraising, but I don't think people give because they feel guilty. They might just be feeling altruistic. Same with the firemen who have the "fill the boot for charity" and are always on Baum/Bigelow Blvd.
If I see canners and I hit the light at the right time, I give because I know it's for Thon. If I'm with someone else, I make sure they know that too.
No, I don't want to see people running across the street like dorks, but I can honestly say all the canners, boot holders, newspaper salesmen and flower salesmen I've seen on the street have been considerate (they didn't get in anyone's face that is) and didn't get into the flow of traffic.
