OT: A Funny thing happened on the way home today

I gave up feeling guilty about finding money and keeping it a while back after years of finding money on the floor while doing floor maintenance for the big red S when I was a teenager, and putting it into the charity jars. Then one day I saw the store manager empty those change jars into a bag and then put that bag into his brief case. Since then, I have seen many of the "Trusted" store manager of many big red S stores steal that money. It was free money to them so they just took it. I have NEVER dropped another penny into those charity jars any where! In retrospect, I am very happy that I do not work for those corrupt, lying, chickens**t bastards any more. The big red "S" can kiss my fat white butt.

Um... did this 'charity jar' list a known charitable organization as the benficiary? It was it just a taped-on label that said 'charity' on it? If so, then it's just a scam (apparently common to this grocery chain) rather than a stain on all charity. If people drop money into a jar without knowing who it's supposed to be for, they are freely giving it away. Definitely a low-life trick, but technically legal. If you saw someone using a major name to solicit donations and taking that, then you'd have grounds to call in law enforcement.
