I truly think that different areas handle this differently - in south orange county (I’m hopefully on my last week of the census) they send one or two other low level employees out, then the crew leader assistant, and finally the crew leader if someone won’t answer. I apparently have the highest rate of “refused to answer” in my group. We are instructed to not take no for an answer and to keep trying. (Worst job ever!)
So I can expect more visits? If my husband answers the door he will just tell them anything they want to know. He thinks I am tilting at windmills.
I am answering the questions and I am friendly. My answer is - You don’t need to know that. The second guy only actually asked one question in addition to - How many people live here? And when I gave my answer he left. They were very far from aggressive in their questioning.
Sorry
