Haven’t seen a Salvation Army bell ringer….hmmmm

Posted on 12/07/2021 2:56:46 PM PST by Maskot

This is just an observation… I am a professional shopper so I am in and out stores all day every day numerous times. Last week and thru this weekend there were Salvation Army bell ringers at almost every location I worked. The last two days there have been zero. A quick look on the internet “news” shows how they’re going to spin it. A. Lack. Of. Workers. Due. To……Covid! How convenient!

Nope nope nope ….. it’s NOT because we stepped into a pile of CRT poop. It’s a “lack of workers due to covid” 🤔

Anyone have any similar observations from their area?

How’s your son doing? Is the VA doing better?

Nobody says they haven’t done good works and helped people but things change, and sometimes not for the better. I refuse to support my old church because they recently went woke. They’ve lost over $12,000 just from us in tithes. My new church gets that money until they decide to turn to the dark side, which I hope doesn’t happen.

I usually put some cash in the kettle (but not this year).

Why? Who are you punishing with your self absorbed altruistic stand? You think you're punishing the Salvation Army?

Got news for you bro, the SA will still exist but your refusal to help them does nothing but limit their financial resources that ultimately help people and families in need.

But that's OK, you made your damn point! LOL!

Haven’t seen any, at the usual locations, in our area.

He's doing great, just scored a new Adrenochrome franchise.

Is the VA doing better?

They will be after we start selling the new Adrenochrome.

Churches and local organizations provide the same services.

We won’t be sending our annual, end of year donation. We’ll explain why, on the donation slip (they’ve already mailed to us).

They can get their $$ and support from their woke supporters.

Everyone should drop in just one penny and say “Here is your white privilege.” with a shit-eating grin.

My husband and I have been bell ringers at Walmart for many years along with other members from our church. All the money collected stays in our little town

Minus the “tax, tag & administrative fees” of course.

You are a real kind of special! This has been in the news the last week, let’s keep it current so no one drops a dime in their red kettle.

Saw a Salvation Army person and kettle the other day and explained though I’ve given hundreds of dollars in past years, I had to stop since I am now a racist. Crickets.

I actually received two donation solicitation envelopes from the just yesterday. Sent them back, stuffed with some extra junk mail and a nice note…put their own return address on the envelope with no stamp. 😉

I'll be putting something in their kettles: a slip of paper that reads, "Get woke, go broke. No more donations from me!"

For many years I've donated $1 every time I pass a SA kettle, but no more.

I got a fundraising letter from the Salvation Army. I put this on the form they sent “I am white, and I resent the woke nonsense you have chosen to engage in this Christmas season”, naturally, no funds were donated.
