I was approached by a manager at my store ( I work at Wal-Mart) and he said that he had me down for 6-6:30 to cover the Salvation Army kettle by the front doors. Seems Wal-Mart is helping out the poor slobs who stand there and hope someone drops money in their kettle thingy. So anyways, I didn't have a problem doing it. It got me out of the department for half an hour, and I still got paid for it.

Anyways, as I was standing there, I realized something. Every person who walked past me, wouldn't look at me. They'd act as if I wasn't there. Like they felt guilty that they didn't donate anything! LOL! So I decided to have a little fun.

I'd stare right at the people who walked by me. I swear some of them cringed when I looked at them. Like I was gonna bring down the wrath of God on them or something. Then I started thinking, "If anyone is gonna have the wrath of God brought down on them, it's gonna be me for being Satan's alterboy, standing next to the holy kettle, or whatever it's called".

But I survived the wrath of God, and my experience as a member of the Salvation Army. And I got PAID for it. SUCKERS~!

I always speak to those people that guard the kettle, or whatever, LOL. I always try to stick a dollar or two in it also.

For a religeous organization, Salvation Army is a good group. I attended ther church services when I was a young boy...even played the bass drum. It was fun and the leaders weren't full of bull. They really help people in need and nobody that I've met in administration seems to be getting rich.
I drop some change when I see the kettle...and if I won the lottery, they are one of the charities I would help.

I was at Walgreens last week and a girl in a wheel chair was working the metal tin. And damn I felt bad, cause she was ringing her bells and saying "Happy Holidays". I put a five in there.

Damn, they know how to work your emotions.

I feel this way, if you're doing it just cause you feel bad itr's worse then not doing it at all.
