They give out promotions all the time. Its all good
If your donating blood for a $5 amazon gift hard then your an idiot, you should be donating because you want to, give me a T-shirt if you want, I’ll wear it proudly, but 5 bucks, give me a break.
Cynical much? It's called a blood drive. The incentive is to get those who normally donate to come out sooner than later for the holidays.
Cynical none actually. Just sick of people needing a handout to do something good.
If the red cross was giving donuts and coffee as a thank-you is that also a hand out?
T-shirt, coffee, giftcard... it's all thank-you swag (acronym for "Stuff We All Get"). Even a junkie can get $20 selling his plasma. I can guarantee you, no one is donating for the swag.
Honestly I would be a lot happier if the Red Cross used the money they were providing coffee, doughnuts,swag and c.c's for R&D rather than having a buffet or cool t shirt. Most to all people go in there for the the right reasons (saving lives) us we go in there for two reasons. Bottom line give me a damn 5 cent sticker and get me on my way.
That’s true. I used to give blood/platelets every month for 10 years straight during my time in the US Air Force, they always gave us a box us Girl Scout cookies, think mints, always got a good sugar high, I would eat the whole box during the platelets donation.
Nice.
Great post bro
