So my wife and I went to the local Kmart today in hopes of finding a Joe (I know, I know...WM and Target haven't restocked in at least a month). Anyway, I found a foil Flash, so I'm like "Heck yeah!" I brought it up to pay for it, and this conversation happened:
(cashier) "G.I. Joe, huh?" (me) "Yup, I'm a collector." (cashier) *Skeptical look* "So you're just a big kid, huh?" (me) "Yup, I don't deny it." (poptart13) "I don't mind at all, it's a lot better than some other things he could be into." (cashier) "Yeah, I guess that's true. You want to donate to the March of Dimes today?" (poptart13) "Sure, why not a dollar?" (cashier) "Alright, I'm gonna put GI Joe down." (me) "Awesome!" She actually wrote it on the little paper they hang up, too. So we're proud to have helped a charity in the name of GI Joe. I encourage everyone to do the same. |
