More about Checkout Hunger
So the conversation snippets I just posted are about something that’s going on with my job at the grocery store Wegmans.

Checkout Hunger Campaign
Me: Would you like to donate anything to the Checkout Hunger Campaign? 100% of the profits go to the food bank of Western New York.
Customer #1: No, I have enough trouble feeding myself.
My Thoughts: Then why are you wasting your money on 30$ worth of cosmetics?
Me: Would you like to make a donation to the Checkout Hunger Campaign? Last year we raised over 24 Million Dollars, 9 Million of which fed children alone.
Customer #2: No no, I'm in here every day, I can't afford to donate every time I come through.
My Thoughts: If you can treat yourself to 2 doughnuts every day, you could cut back and donate the spare change and feel like a good human being instead of a lard ass who's too cheap to help the needy.
Me: Would you like to make a donation to the Checkout Hunger Campaign?
Customer #3: No no, I don't have money for extravagances.
My Thoughts: Are you messing with me? Seriously? You just bought over $700 worth of groceries, at least $200 of which was shrimp and steaks. Seriously?

1. Never apologize for acting on your instincts. Listening to your body – then taking action on what you hear – is the hallmark of heroic people. 2. Never apologize for all the tears you’ve cried. Crying cleanses the soul. Shoot for once a month. Even if it’s just a brief mist at a tender moment in a sad movie. 3. Never apologize...

Can we hold hands?
I would hold your hand, as a friend. Then we could cook a decadent dinner and watch old movies. I know that’s not what you’re really asking for here, but it’s all I have to offer, as a far away friend.
