Mrs. Colson and I happily give at church. We also donate furniture and clothing to the kidney foundation and Good Will frequently. It's a RARE thing that I sell items we no longer use, but a couple of things make me STEAM. Whether these are worthwhile causes or not is beside the point!
Standing at the grocery store to pay for your items and the cashier says loud enough for everyone around to hear, "Would you like to donate to the Such n Such charity?" I've done it a few times, but now I just say "NO". The whole thing is designed to shame you if you don't do it and that's the part I don't like...not one little bit....at all.
Then there's the "Alibaba temple of the shrine" dude that stands at the intersections. I know the Shriner's Hospital is a fabulous cause, but I would very much more likely drop money in the dude's bucket if he stood out in front of Home Depot like the Good Will folks do around the holidays, but noooooooo! Dude stands at Davis Mill and Hiram-Sudie on FRIDAY AFTERNOON drive home time and backs traffic up for a half mile! C'mon man!
News alert! I DO NOT like being held captive at a stop sign or waiting for debt card to process while these people openly solicit money from me. :Stick
