The latest thing I've noticed that Walmart is doing is having the cashier ask if you'd like to donate 5 cents to a good cause. I had to double check the amount. It might be an ingenious way to get a lot of
money for charity, who can't afford 5 cents? What do you think? I actually told the cashier 'next time' as I had already said 'no' before registering the amount requested.
I saw a wildlife control truck outside a neighbour's house yesterday. I asked the man if it was raccoons, but he said it was squirrels he was there to remove. Yes, there are lots of squirrels around and they are getting inside of people's roofs.
I got this in an email and thought it was a good one!

Squirrels are something Hawaii does not have, thank goodness. The 5 cents would be okay, but it depends on the charity. And that cartoon is hilarious.
Love the cartoon. I make it easy for myself. I have one Charity that I have always given to and that's it because there are so many deserving ones. I tend to give more to this one then I would if I was giving lots of smaller amounts to many. This Chairty means the most to me and my family. It also makes it easy when people ask for donations. I always say no as I only give to the one. It makes it very easy to deal with requests this way.
I LOVE that cartoon! Thanks for the good wishes, I think it is slowly getting better here! Valerie
Love the cartoon:) lol
Here in almost all supermarket make the same thing (about 5 cents) and I say yes by the things I know is for a good cause anywsy is something personslly bevause some persons say not thanks:)
I don't shop at Walmart, so I don't know if they're doing that here, but at Whole Foods they'll take a dime off your bill if you bring in your own bag; you can decide to keep the credit or donate it. I think they change the charity every quarter.
I don't usually go to walmart but a lot of stores are always asking for a dollar here and a dollar there. Five cents isn't a lot but I've yet to encounter a store that asks for that little.
Very few can say no to the 5 cents donation, and a clever gimmick to reel people in!
The photo is funny..Do they really say that?
Just 5 cents? Wow- that isn't much but it could add up with all the Walmarts. I am waiting for a reality tv star to name their kids like the comic here!
Most new baby names are pretty terrible. If I ever have kids, they will have normal names.
