HA! I remember those days. Give anything...ANYTHING to make thier goal. They would grovel for $2 a month (I think that was the minimum you could give). Anything for that 100% participation mark.
"No thanks, but I appreciate your efforts." That was always my reply. Anything to keep them from meeting their goal. [:D]
Hmmm. I have always wondered about that. I rejected the United Way back in the days when I worked days, where I was given the same contrived logic about 100%. I didn't care whether they made it or not. I just objected because of some of the groups they support. Why go through them when I can give direct to those groups? The way they try to force work places to give to them is reason enough for me to object.
I never shop at Kroger anymore, but I was given what I think will prove to be another of those sort of pitches to my detriment. I went in there because it was the closest place and needed only a couple of items, so I went through the self-scanners. I had a little trouble with it. Why? Oh, it appears you need a Kroger card to use it (I could be wrong). But the lady was in a sales pitch mode, and makes me up a card and runs it through the scaner to "save me money" (wow, a whole 26 cents from "their" regular prices). My whole purpose to go in there was to save time going elsewhere, and then she is trying to sign me up for some card. I tell her I don't want to spend 5 minutes for 26 cents. But she then says I can fiill it out at home if I want to, not that she gave me any choice as to whether she was going to run that card through there (of course I don't fill it out at home). Soooo, it wasn't too bad a thing, but then I get to thinking. Hmm, I used my credit card, she scanned some card into it as well. How much you want to bet I got 26 cents for becoming a part of their junk mail list?[:@]
