I hate those damn bell ringers outside of every damn store this time of year. I know it's for a good cause, but it's annoying. I bet they would get more money if they didn't ring those damn bells. Seems like people run from them to get away from the noise instead of throwing some change in the pot.

And a Merry Christmas to you too. Maybe you shouldn't go shopping with a hangover.

No hangover. I went to Kroger earlier and they were there.

I always throw my spare change in their bucket and drop off 2 toys at the Marines Toys for Tots. Get in the Christmas spirit...theres always more that are less fortunate!

I agree it's a good cause. But at every store, cmon. If I donate to every one I walk by not to mention toys for tots, old newsboys and the thousand other charities out begging for money this time of year we wouldn't be able to afford a christmas for our boys. On average me and the wifey probably give a couple thousand a year to a few charities we have been donating to for years. But I do not give to any of these this time of year. That and the fact every person standing beside them red buckets ringing the bells look like hoodrats who are just gonna steal the haul.

Andy, it has nothing to do with Christmas spirit. I said its a good cause, it's about the annoying bells. Last year there was a gospel type singing woman at Walmart in Grand Blanc. She sang all the Christmas songs and rarely rang the bell. She made local news and someone started a page on fb for her and she had over a thousand likes. She was the only one I gave change to.
