i usually go with something like this.
survey official: hi, we need 10mins of your time to do this survey
me: am i getting paid
SO: no, this will only take 10mins.
me: if you can answer this question, i will complete your survey: you get paid by [name agency] to come out and get people to volunteer their time for the survey. Would you volunteer your time or do this for free? likely not right? what makes you think I'm any different from you?
SO:.............
me: please don't bother me again, unless you get approval from your superiors to pay me in cash. I'll take $20 at the least.
SO:............
me: have a good day.
