Out of the Frying Pan...

Do-not-call list revives door-to-door sales

Now that the national do-not-call list makes it impossible to reach millions of potential customers, some marketing companies are returning to an old-fashioned alternative: door-to-door salespeople.

What evil have we unleashed upon society? I have enough trouble hanging up on a telemarketer. How am I ever going to close the door on some guy who's schlepped a vacuum cleaner to my front door?

we've been dealing with mishulachim for years. Same sort of thing, even if one has a noble cause and the other doesn't.

The noble cause makes all the difference. I'll give a little cash to someone who comes to the door asking for charity, and he'll leave. I won't buy an encyclopedia just to get someone to leave.
