Sometimes little things really make me crazy. I was at Walmart today to get fresh fruit and vegetables. I normally go there 2 or 3 times a week. The reason I shop there is because pears are 79 cents a pound instead in $1.49 and apples are apples are considerably less than in my neighborhood grocery chain.
When I checked out today I was asked if I would like to donate a dollar to some children's charity, I was asked the same question the last few times I have shopped there...I find it really frustrating when I say NO, mostly it is frustrating because there is no point in in talking to the cashier, she is told what to do and say, her pay cheque depends on following orders.
I would like the opportunity to speak with someone in authority in Walmarts huge chain of command. This is what I would tell them. " I shop at Walmart because I have a limited income, not because I am so wealthy; if I had unlimited money I would probably be at some gourmet organic shop buying my fruits and vegetables. I realize that your approach at intimidating people by asking for donations while there are people all around me p5robably works on many but it doesn't work on me so PISS OFF".
I am a generous woman and I decide where and when I help people. For many years I have helped people, both financially and through other means. I have invested thousands of dollars in women. A lot of those dollars going to Dentists and Denturists, because women living at the poverty level have such a difficult time affording any kind of oral health and when a woman is deprived of teeth it does something terrible to her self esteem. I have never mentioned the money I have invested in women, that was something between the women involved, myself and the dentists and denturists. I don't give to charities who's CEOs make more than most us ever will.
There that is off my chest.
