OTV: Awful Checkout Charity Drives

Even more disdainful are the checkout aisle charity drives. There’s always a photo of some adorable sick child handy. “Would you care to donate a dollar today so that (fill in the charity) can help cure poor little Tommy’s tragic case of (fill in the disease).” Now, I’m not totally black hearted and/or cheap. “Yes, of course. Poor Tommy” I said for awhile, I mean it’s just a measly dollar, right? I still will donate a buck now and then if I can. Problem is, if it’s right before payday and I’ve got $5 to my name for groceries, I’m not gonna share with poor Tommy. I sometimes drop in the grocery store once a day and I if I donated every time, eventually poor Tommy will have more money than I do, and I’ll be in the poorhouse/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho.

Question: Do you get annoyed when grocery clerks ask you to contribute a dollar to this cause or that one?
