    I've tried everything imaginable over the years and it ends up being those who are interested will participate and those not interested will not, or if they do, they'll complain about how "unfair" the...

    What do you mean by "refuses?" Do they flat out tell you they are not coming to pick them up or say they don't have a way to come pick them up, or do they say they are and not show
