Today, a customer gave me the dirtiest look ever and muttered, "Goody two-shoes prick" after I asked if he'd like to donate a few cents to charity. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I spent my last $6 on groceries, the woman at the register gave me a dirty look because I declined to donate $1 to a children's charity. My six year-old son immediately chimed in with, "Mommy, why aren't you helping the poor children?" FML
Today, I was cashiering, and a customer's change came to $5.51. She looked pretty stinking rich, so I just gave her $5.50. She demanded the extra penny, and I asked if she really needed it. She said, "No, but they do, asshole," and dropped her $5.51 in the charity donation box. FML
Today, the cashier asked if I wanted to donate $1 to help hungry children. I said, “Not today, thank you.” The man behind me loudly said, “Wow…” Now everyone thinks I hate children. I'm just that broke. FML
Today, at work, a customer asked for my number. When I declined, he made a huge scene, shouting and scaring other customers. He tipped me seven cents. FML
Today, I was cleaning up litter from the street, when a guy asked who I work for. I said nobody and that I was just doing some community service. Before I could clarify that it was voluntary community service, he called me a "piece of shit delinquent", spat on me, and walked off. FML
Today, I work as a cashier, and as always, I asked the customer paying credit to sign the "sheet" of paper. I received a dirty look from one woman who apparently talked to the manager about me, saying I had asked her to sign the "shitty" paper. I have now been warned for "derogatory language." FML
Today, trying to do a good deed, I gave a homeless guy a $10 bill. As I walked away, he yelled after me, "You fucking bitch!" FML
Today, as my dad and I were leaving a store, a man asked us if we could donate to an Alzheimer's fund. My dad hates being asked for money, so he immediately hunched over and acted like a dirty, senile old man all the way to the car. FML
Today, a customer at the fast-food joint I work at gave me a pitying look and asked, "How's that liberal arts degree treating ya?" FML
Today, at the soup kitchen I volunteer at, a guy called the food crap and threatened to shove his bowl up my ass if I didn't give him something better. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Some people don't like being told to donate money. Most prefer to do it of their own accord, rather then having a tin jingled in their face from a charity worker or unfortunately someone like yourself asking him to donate when he clearly didn't want to. Boundaries are important and not everyone can afford to donate at every given time and some people feel like they are being pressured to give what they don't have or more then they can spare.

That's understandable, but I'm pretty sure it was part of OP's job to ask.

and it wasn't clear that he didn't want to donate until after OP asked.

no one was telling the customer he had to donate. and if it's line my store, the question is asked on the pin pad and the transaction can't move forward until the consumer makes a choice. in less time than it took to be snotty about it, you could have just pressed no thanks and moved on.

That's still no reason to be a colossal dick about it, a simple question is not pressure. If you don't want to do something simply say no, no snotty responses needed to say no nor anyone to defend you for being a dick about it

Was it inside the store or were you one of those people who stands outside? I usually like their charities but I hate how they're always trying to guilt people into giving them money right before and after they pick up groceries.
