American Marketing….
It made me angry and mad at big store <name withheld> today…the lady at the counter said “Would you like to save children? Its a dollar…”…well…First, i it was that cheap, i would have done it a while ago…second, it was obvious from the signs by her that they were collecting for charity…but thats no way to ask a question….no person with the heart in the right place would say “no”…
But I did. Said “No”. My reasoning is simple – When <big store> gives their collection to the charity – they dont use my name (and all the others who donated)…- They keep the publicity to themselves….Not to mention the benefits of Taxes….
Thank you very much…i give my own charity, when i feel like it – And its definitely more than a dollar!
Now…if they only stop asking that stupid question “Are you sure, you are declining liability insurance? huh? Sign 5 times here and initial 3 times here…and be ready to pay your deductable when you drop the car off…”
