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

But it's part of your job to ask...

and you wouldn't believe how many people think we're asking as a personal attack on them.

As someone who works as a cashier I can say that 23 is completely right and it is a part of our job but people get so offended if they have to give any of their money away that they weren't originally planning on spending.

My family makes donations to charities when we want to that equals much more than a few cent or dollars so I don't feel obligated to donate to certain charities. A $100 donation to a charity is as good as $1 to 70-100 charities. I just prefer to donate when I feel like it

OP would have had no qualms with the customer if he had just said "no thank you," as I hope you would do too in this situation.

when someone asks, you can say "no thank you" without being a prick.

It's 50 cents really not that had to hand over two quarters and then write down your name

A shop I go to just asks on default, and usually bit is a few cents so I say yes and I don't get my 50 cents worth of change. Is that 50 cents really that much and important to you?

@6 To be fair, that whole foods guy was a ****.

Perhaps op asked the customer to speak into the voice decoder to confirm he's not donating any money to the hungry kids.

Some people just don't have any cents.

FHL for having such a shitty bitter life that he couldn't just say "no thanks." Don't let people like that **** up your day OP.

Oh no, that's terrible! I hope you're recovering from such a horrible response and can keep positive.
