I fuckin hate whenver I go shopping and the cashier fuckin has to offer you some kind of program or card or some kind of sign up to suck out a a few more extra bucks from you. It's always some kind of membership card or offer for some free bullshit and you can never just say no and have it be over, they always persist that its so beneficial and make you feel like an asshole if you don't sign up.
I was at best buy today and the lines were ridiculous, it was like a 15 minute wait. Finally I get up and she tries to push some rewards bullshit on me and I say no thanks. Then she rings up my purchase and says "Would you like to donate to the red cross tsunami relief fund?"
Now usually whenever they do these charity things I will agree because usually they ask for a dollar or whatever, I just agree to pay the buck so as not to be hassled. So she asks me if i'd like to donate and I am waiting for her to ask for a buck or whatever... she's just staring at me. I said "yeah sure, how much is it?" She tells me that it's whatever I want to donate and bestbuy matches it dollar for dollar, I stand there for a second and say "forget it then cause I already donated directly to the red cross".
No shes staring at me and giving me that "you cheap motherfucker" look. I am now starting to feel like an asshole so I start acting like one, "No for nothing but I pay my taxes and my taxes go towards things like helping other countries and I already donated, so no thanks"
So she sucks her fuckin teeth at me and says "not even a single dollar? just one dollar?" On principle now I said no, "now you're just haggling me, in all truth and honesty I really couldn't give a damn about whats goin on over there, all these bleeding heart sympathy for them is not something I care to partake in. Plus I already said no and you're still asking me, if I wanted to donate I'd do it in my own name, not give the money to best buy and have them get the glory"
So she says "but you said you already did donate to the red cross"
So I fuckin ended up donated the dollar, fuckin cunt.
