Every time I go to the grocery store, I see somebody in all white with a Salvation Army bucket just sitting down, nodding to people, but not speaking. I've been wondering for a while how much people give them each day, and questioning whether it's legit or not. Seriously, what regulations are there that see where the money goes? Does anybody from the Dub donate money to any charity? What are your thoughts?
-
Yeah I do.
-
Dont trust those god damn pan handlers.
-
the salvation army i know of is like a pawn shop with mostly furniture and clothes where you just get a receipt for a tax write off from your donation, you dont get any cash
-
Go jack him at the end of the day and see, duh ???
-
Just walk up to the bucket and put some trash in it.......see what they say.
-
Haha those are all great answers. My initial reaction is the same as Sik's, but next time I'm going to throw my receipt into their bucket. I'll update it the next time I go.
-
the worst is around christmas time when they have people standing right outside the door ringing a little bell all day long
-
charities are suspect, if you do your work, most only give like 30-60% of your money to the actuall people, the rest of it gets lost in translation (salaries, bonuses, benzes, prostitutes, cocaine habits, etc.)

I was shocked that they would be out this time of here. That's makes them even more suspicious.

Yeah I cant stand all that shit...
The Salvation Army people I can tolerate a lil more, cus they dont beg for money....they just ring that fuckin bell.
But I hate when Im in the grocery store, buyin my shit, and the cashier says all loud...."WOULD YOU LIKE TO DONATE A DOLLAR TO STARVING BABIES BORN WITH BRAIN CANCER??"
Wtf!?
Now I gotta say "NO" in front of everyone and look like an asshole.
Oh, and those Girlscout bitches...dont even get me started...
Here's me, grown ass man...walkin towards the store, and seein a girlscout table at the entrance. So what do I do? Walk all the way to the other entrance to avoid em....only to find out, they got that entrance blocked too!! Man...

I used to feel that way, but now I don't give a fuck. Strictly because that money you donate goes through so many hands that ti probably never gets to help anyone in need. I'm all for helping someone in need, not crooks.

i use to be like that where i was scared to say no, in fear of looking like an ass hole.
but after having a child.....it opened up the flood gates for plausable excuses.
cashier "would you like to make a donation to the prohibition of female circumsicion in west africa?"
me : " i'm all for female circumcision....you know a local place i can take this one (points to my daughter)"
semi true story.
-
When they ask me I hit them back no but would you like to donate one dollar to my cocaine habit because my nose is starving

more of a joke then anything, but Im glad to be taken so seriously :rock:

The ringing of the bell is the funniest thing. They seriously just stand there for hours ringing a bell, I respect their ability to stand there for so long without talking. But I'm still going to throw my crumpled up receipt in their bucket next time, or just take the bucket and find out how much people donate.
