A tough sell

When I was in middle school, I never liked asking students if they wanted to purchase tickets for the Association Of Instrumental Music.  Each ticket entitled the buyer to a dollar's worth of McDonald's food.  In the first place, kids don't have that much money.  They shouldn't have to be concerned with paying to support the school orchestra.  Secondly, when they want McDonald's food, they can use a more direct route to pay for it--cash.
