I was just came home being being in Indianapolis and it seemed every place I went to, restaurant, movies, gun range. All asked if I would like to donate a dollar.
I said no to all except for the chick in the movie theather. She was pretty cute. So I didnt want to seem like a cheapskate.
I then remembered I'm married and was about to ask for my dollar back. lol

for about the last 3 months the local safeway has been doing that. when you donate they make an announcement over the PA system. I've yet to donate anything yet. even the announcements get annoying. on one trip to safeway there must have been 30+ donation in a 30min period.
I thought it was a good idea.

stop and shop is the big one around here. they been doing the Jimmy fund tickets at least 10-15 years. you spend a dollar, it goes to jimmy fund. you get a free low priced item in the store worth up to 4 dollars and a chance to win one of these $5/$10/$50/$100/$500/$1,000/$5,000/$10,000

Yeah, definitely safeway. The cashiers used to ask out loud, but I think someone complained to them about it...probably felt bad saying no in front of the rest of their line. Now it's programmed on the ATM/Credit card swiper.

I think the reason I initially posted this is I got asked at two different locations that I didn't expect. Went to the movies, got asked there, then went and got a sandwhich at Arby's (I get em free since I own the joint) and I was asked again to donate. It's getting out of control!
