I was walking into Vons to get cat litter and there was this kid and another little girl standing outside asking people to buy candy to help finance something for school. The kid was standing there with crutches and they had a shopping basket with packs of those mini candy bars in the basket.
The speech was that they needed to raise 10k yada yada and the price for each pack was $50 but because I was so nice he'd drop it to $20.
I looked at the kid and told him I wasn't paying $20 for that little pack of candy that I could get right in the store for $3 and that if he told me the real price I might help him. He then asks for $10 and says he'll throw in a "free pack"
I just went ahead and gave him $10 and took 2 packs of Baby Ruths, so basically I paid $5 per pack. I'm sure he and this little girl went into the store, bought the candy off the shelf and stood outside to re-sell it, and the store employees just let them do it, but hey...I figured if this kid is hustling that hard with crap candy, he must need it for something. Plus, I get paid tomorrow anyway so...
