We're currently having our annual donation for the Capital Area Food Bank! I've posted about this before, and I love that we do this donation drive. 40,000 people a week go to the Austin food bank, and they've been running rather short on donations lately. (Plus, no fratching intended here, but I have some friends who have required the food bank, so it's a personal thing for me.)
So, in way of donations, you can add increments of $1, $3, or $5 to your order, or for $5 you can get a pre-made bag of canned goods. (I think it's 3 cans of tuna, 2 cans of corn, 2 cans of green beans, and a can of pork and beans.)
But enough backstory!
Right Answers when your cashier asks, "Would you like to donate to the Food Bank today?"
"Sure!"
"No, thank you."
"I have already, thank you."
"Maybe next time!"
Wrong Answers when your cashier asks, "Would you like to donate to the Food Bank today?"
*horribly snotty face and tone* "I don't APPROVE of that sort of thing."
"Tch! No!" You don't have to sound like such a jerk, dude.
"Why should I have to pay for them when they can't manage their money??" A simple no will do...
"Would they like to donate to me?? HAW HAW HAW!" Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is very insensitive and unfunny.
Seriously, guys. I won't guilt you into buying one of these. I know how it feels to not have a lot of cash to spare for charity, and all you have to say is no. I won't pester you. Please do not make yourself look like a jerk by airing your personal vendetta.

Assorted Nut #1
*carries quantity of items around store, accidentally drops them, thankfully nothing breakable*
*bends down to pick them up, sees woman coming over to try and help*
Woman: Oh wait, you work here, never mind.

Assorted Nut #2
Dealt with a woman who said I overcharged her for her produce since my "fat stomach got onto the scale." Classy.
Assorted Nut #3
To the man who blamed me for taking forever to get his cigarettes for him:
Pointing to the case and saying "The long red ones" is not a good enough description of what you want. We have probably 30+ "long red ones" in our case and I tried to point at every one of them before you went with some obscure brand way at the bottom. Forgive me for not reading your mind sooner.
May you always go barefoot and your floor be made of Legos.

And that's all, folks!

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
