Rather than be embarrassed by saying no, most people just say yes. I resent these stores putting this kind of pressure on their customers. And then I wonder if that money really goes to the charity or if the by the hour employees help themselves to some of that money.

Malcolm Gladwell wrote a piece "Big and Bad" about this in the New Yorker (http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2004/01/12/040112fa_fact_gladwell). Essentially, people want a bigger car for when they have a collision, with the thinking that they will get into an accident, it's just a matter of time. But in reality if people drove a smaller, more agile car, drivers would be able to avoid the collision all together in many circumstances. Plus your BMW is more baller than 99% of the cars out there!
