Rant: Gas Station Charity

[Sutter'sBeard]

I already paid $4.00 for my Clif Bar and a Diet Coke and now you want me to give $1 to MS Research, March of Dimes, St. Judes, and countless other charities. I don't mind giving every once in a while but I don't want to be hustled every time I walk into one. How about you lower your 150% markup on your treats and soda and I'll give to charity every time.

When did gas stations get all philanthropic? I'm sure they get some kind of tax break for every dollar a customer gives.

I'll bedgrudgingly approve of this rant. (I wanted someone else to do it, because I've been betching a lot lately. )

Then there are retailers that not only hustle you to donate - but hustle you to join savers club.

It's such a turn off to constantly be hit up for money everywhere. Everywhere. Gas stations. Retailers. Starbux. Walgreens (though I will say, that at least Walgreens just has a button you can push to say no as opposed to looking into a 6 year old asking for money that is needed for cheerleader uniforms and say Piss off you little beggar)

[expletive] off everyone.
