One Measly Dollar (Part 2)

As mentioned yesterday, it can be quite awkward to be at the cash register of a store and be asked if you would like to donate $1 to some charity. While many choose the polite, but firm "no," it is surely an unsatisfactory answer. Consider these scenarios that get the job done and provide some moral justification to your penny-pinching.

1. " Oh sorry, I already donate at 3 other grocery stores and 2 department stores."

2. ¿Que? (And pray they don't speak Spanish!)

3. "I'll do it if you do it." 

4. "My spouse and I must first discuss all financial transactions."

5.  "I'm a crook and I just wouldn't feel right giving 'dirty money' to a charity."

Hope this helps. 

By the way, would any of you be willing to donate $1 to our Flushstrong campaign?

    My favorite one here is, "I'll do it if you do it." If everyone did that, they would stop asking. I always say, "I give at my church." I guess that sounds lame, so next time I'm going to use the I'm a crook one. I want to see their response to that one. lol
