Recently I went into Dollar General to purchase things that I NEEDED for my home. I usually spend $35-$40 a week in the store. The way things are now a days, we have to watch what we spend. The cashier was pleasant enough, but I was continuously asked to donate to not only one, but three different charities!!! I looked the company up on line, and this is a multi million dollar company! So why are they asking the average shopper to contribute to these charities, when they have such a high prophet margin!!! You know that they will take the credit for the donation, but the company itself dropped NO money into the bucket. All they manage to do is drive away thier customers- send them straight back to walmart. I personally would rather deal with the crowds then feel like I was just charity raped!
