Wait Them Out Till Labor Day

When you buy something at my local supermarket, you're asked if you'd like to contribute to the Muscular Dystrophy Assocation. A fine cause, no doubt, but I don't appreciate being solicited while I'm giving them money.

I noticed a sign that said you get a free two-liter bottle of cola if the cashier forgets to ask you for a donation. That's odd. They get punished for not doing something they shouldn't be doing. I'd never tell on a cashier, anyway--it'd look really bad to walk out with a free coke and not give anything.
