Is it just me or is soliciting donations getting way the hell out of
hand?
Last time I was at Walmart, the checker asked for a donation to some
international childrens thing and when I turned her down, she asked to
round
up my bill. For the same cause. Got hit up twice in the friggin parking
lot,
once was some cheerleader squad and the other a guy selling crappy
overpriced t-shirts and claiming the proceeds go to charity.
Next day, kids show up with the magazine subscription/ finance our trip
to
wherever and later make a donation and get a "gift" of stale peanut
brittle.
I already have a few charities that suck the life from my wallet:
electric company
water company
insurance company
mortgage company
Not to mention a teenage daughter and a wife that seem to get 90% off
the
top.

Hell, even Safeway puts a request on their damn credit card machine. I've
complained to the manager, but it's not done any good.

You're a racist.

Never mind about John. We know you hate him because of the shunning you got
when you invited him for a boat ride. Get over it.
