I've not been pressured by co-workers to buy stuff for their kids' fundraisers in a long time. It only happened once, years ago, when I worked at a bank and there was one mom in particular who would pressure co-workers to buy Girl Scout cookies. I never did, simply because I thought it was odd that parents were selling for the kids. Isn't it the whole point for the kids to do it and feel that they accomplished something? Anyway, like Tina, if a kid comes to my door, I am a total sucker and will whip out the checkbook.
