OT so I’m in Boston w son for Thanksgiving

Which beats being alone watching two crappy nfl teams play and blowing farts into my smelly chair like someone I know. And claiming never to watch the nfl

But as I wait for son to get off work and home. Since I’m old now. I go to star market. Which is same as vons and Albertsons. I’m there to get snacks. Across from hotel. Cheaper and more selection than gas station mnms And I am amused to find this star market than Bostonians think is their own is just an Albertsons. Or a Vons. Same brands. Same layout. These guys just have more self check out. Which I hate and went to a cashier

A tip for the future for myself. When checking out and they ask you if you want to donate money for food for the food basket people don’t put your card on the Swiper expecting it to go straight to the charge.

I threw my card down half thinking it would go to payment and suddenly the lady gets on the microphone and says “we have a food donation who hooo” and I’m thinking who? This is my register. And the bagger says “HAPPY Thanksgiving sir!”

And cashier says “thank you for your donation”. What??? I didn’t want to be the jerk and argue so some poor family got $6 toward a food basket out of me

My son said boo hoo dad. 3 packs of mnms. How’s that gonna affect your net worth?

Jokes on him. Comes out of his inheritance

All those “ donations “ you give at the Grocery store. Or any other place that’s wants to “ round up”. Well, the store gets the tax write off credit. Not you.

Cool. I'm in Boston visiting my daughter, who moved here after college. Our Thanksgiving ritual.

I assume you're referring to the Star Market just across from the Pru. If so, we're right across the street in the Colonnade. Practically neighbors.

I'm very careful to press the "No Thanks" button.

Not sure where you got that from. I am visiting my son in Boston I have done this every year since he moved here. His first roommates parents are fascinating. Grandma was raised as a young girl in a Japanese internment camp in CA and then kind of kicked out. So they went to Colorado who was more welcoming to Japanese. Her daughter grows up pretty American but marries a Japanese guy in the 90's or 2000's and they have Alex, son's Roommate. Dad and Son only talk in Japanese. They speak English to everyone else. It's how they keep the language in the family and keep it sharp for both. Smart people. Great folks. So I always come back to see son. Wife has her own irritating family to attend to lol

It's a valid question given your history and the separate holiday plans. Keep us posted. Happy Thanksgiving.

hahahahahha, that's good. You're looking around like who is the generous chap and why is everyone looking at me.

At Panda they always ask if you want to donate $1.00 towards a kids hospital, I always say yes of course. I mean there is always a line behind me what am i gonna do? Have everyone in line know I let kids die because I couldn't spare a buck?

Now if I'm at Sprouts self checkout and that question comes up on the screen? I look for the "Fuck dem kids" button. 😂

oh edit, Boston, only been there once. fantastic. enjoy

Donations are always a scam. Rock concerts to eliminate african poverty? scams. Hurrican relief? scams.

Yeah, it's funny because it was all confusing. I am admiring the store and it's similarities to home and stuff. And then the whole whoo hoo thing I have heard that at home too. Buy my cashier? And then it registered that I AM THE GUY. And my next thought was "oh crap, how much did it ring me up for?" Her reaction made me fear it was gonna be $100 I NEVER take the receipt. Especially for dumb stuff like candy and bottled water. $20 right? This time I snatched it from her and read all the way through ok, food basket, donation, gift, poor kids, food basket where is it? $6???? Aw f that fine. I am not gonna be the D over $6 So yeah, I am a prince. WHoo hooo yay me. Yeah, unlike Fraud, you got it

I don't think World Vision is a scam. Hopefully not. Always thought that was a good one.
