So i call Pizza Hut last night and order dinner for me and my family and the guy on the other end completes my order and tells me my price. i agree and am about to hang up the phone when he asks "Would you like to donate $1 to the World Hunger Relief Fund"
Now before you go all ape shit on me for being cold hearted, know that i donate regularly to a number of charities.
Now i was already having a pretty rough day and all and i know i shouldn't have went off on him, but i did. I flatly told him that If i wanted to donate to The World Hunger Relief Fund, i would do it directly to the organization, and i would appreciate not being solicited over the phone while trying to get my family dinner. I went on to rant about how Pizza Hut was probably spending more than $5million to promote their message for the World Hunger Relief Fund when in all actuality they were more than likely going to donate less than $2million from their $1 campaign. All Pizza Hut was doing was trying to better their face value with their clients.
*end rant*
Needless to say i canceled my order out of fear that they would spit in it.... we had Chinese instead.
