I went into Bed, Bath, and Beyond today to get some rugs, etc. At the check-out counter, I saw a sign that said, "Support our Troops". I read on and it said, "For $1.99, we will send $1 to the Support our Troops fund." At first, I thought that was great...but then I thought about it for a second and got mad. Isn't that just exploitative? The cashier told me that the other $0.99 was for "processing the contribution." Needless to say, I didn't donate...but is it just me, or does anyone else find that absurd and exploitative?
