Yep. They are more like 'cardigans' now, especially the IT guys, which I imagine these were. But if they were 'regular' people, as you phrase it, why shouldn't they cough up like the rest?? (Or tell her they can't.)
I know fundraisers now are not allowed to accost people, but it is not so entertaining. Well done Abbey, for realising that.
