Do you get bombarded with clerks asking for donations at the check-out counter? I love that businesses want to help, but I feel badly when I don't want to contribute to a particular cause. Last night, I was at GNC buying a few protein bars as stocking stuffers. The clerk said, they are buy 5 get 1 free. So I bought them all, and the clerk tried to get me to donate to St. Jude's because he just saved me money! Really?? That's how it works? I'm supposed to donate to a cause because there was a sale? I told him, "no thanks, not to this one." He went on to tell me what St. Jude's does for all the children and that all the money goes directly to them (ummm, no it doesn't). My mom was with me and she told him he was rather pushy and he should stop asking for donations like that. I'm still rather upset about the way it happened. I feel like every store I go in asks to round up or add a dollar. Some I have a real connection to, and others I don't.
