Some people just love cancer
I’d rather not tell you where I work. That’s not important to this story. Suffice it to say that where I work large sums of money are exchanged for goods and services on a regular basis. It’s also necessary for you to know that we are currently raising money for a cancer research organization. That’s all you need to know.
Anyway, I overheard the following exchange while a woman was in the process of purchasing around $500 in goods and services:
Associate: Hi, how are you today?
Woman: I’m fine, thank you.
Associate: Would you like to donate $1 to [cancer research organization]?
Woman (thinks, grimaces): No, I don’t think so.
