Give To The Children Or You’ll Have The Devil To Pay
I am working at a cookie store in a mall when we are accepting donations for a local charity and giving customers the option to donate $1.00 at checkout. Many people say no, which is fine; it’s none of my business. But it is the people that are exceptionally rude about it that bother me. This is my favorite instance.
Me: “Would you like to donate $1.00 to help children in need?”
Customer: *Visibly annoyed* “No. I wish people would give me a dollar every time my children needed something.”
Me: *Pause* “All right, well, your total comes to $6.66.”
Customer: “You can’t be serious.”
She donated $1.00 after that.
