the supermarket by my home is another one that is pissing me off. "would you like to donate a $ to breast cancer" - NO... here's an idea you sorry motherfuckers... stop asking me for money to foster this notion that you "care" and actually donate money yourselves or match donations rather than harassing your customers in some sort of ill-conceived, cause-based marketing effort where you're only contribution is to just put every fucking customer on the spot while you do jack shit about it.
sorry.

I was going to begin by asking how you really felt, but then I found myself pretty much agreeing with you on pretty much everything you just said.
I hate being guilted into donating - it's like the rest of the line is staring you down for saying NO to donating to the children's hospital or some crap like that.
How many
billions has gone into cancer research? And we still aren't even close yet? Well forget it then... there's no way they are going to get a cure within my lifetime...
