do u guys love me as much as I love you my little everetters
When the cashier asks me if I’d like to donate a dollar to starving puppies with leukemia I think, “Why don’t you donate a dollar?”
But I don’t say that because I know it’s the cashier’s job to ask and it doesn’t help to rag out some poor wageslave.
You have to find the Everett True in yourself, ask for the manager and punch him into orbit.
In doubt always go with HWETRWV: how would Everett True respond with violence? You know it will give you the appropriate answer to your particular situation.
Tbf a lot of times it isn’t really the managers fault either. You’ve gotta go higher up the chain to really start knocking blocks off. The block chain, if you will.
Full circle,noice

You’re gonna have to make some wristbands now.
It’s a little different when being asked by a woman from the 1% though, like in the comic.
Eh, only slightly. The 1% just realized that rich people directly asking you to donate to a charity so they can get tax kickbacks doesn’t go over well, so they get their cashiers to do it instead so people feel bad about getting mad at some random teenager. Don’t harass the person asking, since it wasn’t their choice to do so, but realize that it’s better to donate to the charity of your choice - or directly give money to someone you see in need - without also putting money into the pocket of some rich business owner.
But why wouldn’t you want to help big corporation with their tax returns, you heartless bastard.
Chapters/Indigo radicalized me.
For the uninitiated, this is a chain of bookstores across Canada. I remember them as being one of the first places where people would ask you to donate a dollar at checkout. Their charity was framed as helping put books in schools, a cause that at first glance you can’t really find fault with.
Well, turns out their program only allowed for the purchase of books at full retail price from themselves. So the ‘charity’ was literally buying books at full markup and profits. Supposedly it was also quite difficult for schools to actually qualify as well.
So when they asked you to ‘donate a dollar’ they were really just asking for an extra dollar for themselves.

Like the billion dollar grocery chain asking you to donate to [vets, children’s causes, whatever] at checkout.
Or the pet stores with the pictures of sad puppies and kittens on the card machine asking for handouts. Pisses me the fuck off.
I love you for introducing the comic to me
Her $2,000 coat in 1906 would be $69,816 today. Must be a helluva coat!
I was thinking of that when I saw the amounts also - Just outrageously expensive, like if it weren’t actually published at the time it was, I’d assume a modern artist had simply forgotten about inflation.
