How do you feel about going to a grocery store or a fast food restaurant and having them ask you to donate to a charity?
It seems like every where I go now someone is asking for a donation to something. Some charities, I just flat don't want to donate to, because not enough of the money they collect helps the cause they are championing. But mostly, I don't know how much of what the store or business collects actually gets to the charity.
Tonight, I ran through the drive through of Panda Express for my kids. They wanted me to donate my change, and I replied 'no, thank you'.
Boy, did the girls tone change. When I got up to the window she almost threw my change at me and it spilled all over the pavement. She was very angry, it seemed to me. Do they get a percentage of every thing you donate? I didn't understand why she would be so angry.
What do you think?
