I didnt meet the quota
I lasted just over a month doing this.
I begged to get put back onto the phones and contemplated breaking a limb rather than do FTF in the street.
Its really hard mustering up a genuine smile after weeks of knockbacks while trying to make eye contact with someone who just wants to walk by unmolested by folk trying to get them to sign up to pay a monthly fee to a certain charity.
In their shoes I'd feel the same.
Getting spat at was the breaker, a green gobbet of slime dripping down my face and being told just clean it off and carry on was just a huge no no, I gave my clipboard to the team leader and went home.
Next day I was summoned to the office and let go.
I took the months pay in lieu and skipped home a happier bunny

Yeah can be tough.
But when I get a sign up I do feel better.
Had none on wednesday and I was worried about how I was going to pay rent if I lost this job.

Argyle Street?
As in Glasgow? I probably blanked you the other day.

Don't take it personally.... I give to charity, but at a time and place of my choosing.

Wouldn't try the phone trick though. Just a quick nod and an 'I'm on my lunch' does it for me.
