Strapped for cash

By Anonymous - 16/12/2010 05:49 - United States

Today, as I spent my last $6 on groceries, the woman at the register gave me a dirty look because I declined to donate $1 to a children's charity. My six year-old son immediately chimed in with, "Mommy, why aren't you helping the poor children?" FML

Don't worry about the woman. She's a bitch. You didn't have to donate if you didn't want to. You could have just told your kid that was the last of your money.

People are so rude. You can't donate to everyone especially when you don't have spare change.

Should of took a dollar out when she wasn't looking and put it back in to make her butt not so hurt.

All you need to say is "no thank you" and explain to your son later, that if you had extra money you would have donated it. Who cares what a random cashier thinks. They're used to people turning them down. Why feel guilty? If you don't have it, you don't have it.

Unless you were wearing something that would have proved otherwise you should have responded with "Because we're the poor children right now."

aww that's so sad. I'm sorrrryyyyy I hope things get better!

How dare they judge you when you decline that.

don't take the lady's look personally, that happens all of the time to me and thousands of others

I be like bitch don't get me a dirty look like I'm rolling in cash, why don't you donate a dollar for the both of us since you so high and mighty working at a damn grocery store. then I would look at my son and tell him to shut the **** up! I love to be put in those situations lol

I imagined the angry black man from YouTube spewing that rant.

I wish I lived where you live if you can buy groceries for six bucks....

She was probably only picking up a few things not doing shopping for a week...

"Mommy, why won't you help the poor kids?" "I just did. I bought you food, didn't I?"
