Thanksgiving Irony
So today I was standing in line at Safe to buy some bagels for Ronnie and I’s breakfast. As I was checking out I saw a sign they had up saying help the hungry this Thanksgiving. Adding $1.00 to your bill will provide 2 meals for the hungry. $5.00 will provide 10 meals. So I asked the checker to add it on to my bill. She didn’t know what I was talking about. So I pointed to the sign, and she still didn’t know. So she asked another checker about it and HE didn’t know either. Said it was a new thing they didn’t know about. Well by this time, the line behind me has gotten huge and people are starting to get angry. One guy said, "here, donate to Breast Cancer Research," and hands me a coupon from Safeway for that. I said thank you but I do the Breast Cancer walk every year. "Well aren’t you giving," said another. Embarrassed at holding up the line, I said never mind, I can donate next time I shop.
Sheesh! Happy Thanksgiving!
