Dear Say More: This may be silly, but as September approaches, I am dreading going to the grocery store. I go often, as I have two young kids and inevitably we run out of things here and there.
My local chain grocery store does a pediatric cancer fundraiser every September, and staff will approach customers as they are walking in and/or checking out with a coupon book in exchange for a $5 donation. If you say “no” or “already did,” they ask you to donate more on behalf of the children.
