Amazon and Walmart websites will begin to asking you to "round-up" at the checkout screen starting next year I bet.

I haven’t seen any in my town anywhere, but did see one at a Walmart in another town.

I see a lot of members of the Salivation Army milling around big retail outlets lately.

people probably donate far less because they don’t carry any cash anymore.
Have any of the officers in their Army thought to mount a credit card machine on a stand? Just tell Santa Claus to stay by his stand, hold his bucket, and ring his bell.
I’m sure they could put a few buttons on the stand that allows people to push them and easily select $0.50, $1, $5, etc. before swiping their card.

They have been taking electronic donations at some kettles for a year or two. The avg cash donation was $2 vs $14 for electronic
The kettles that take credit don’t look any different. But next to the metal red kettles are wireless card readers that resemble do-it-yourself readers at gas stations. The machines print two receipts, one for the donor and one to drop in the kettle. According to the Salvation Army’s marketing director, the data obtained from testing of the new “plastic kettles” last year showed that the average per-person credit card donation snared at the kettles was $14, compared with cash donations which were only $2 a person.

This is a common Mandela Effect. Many people online profess memories of people standing outside retail stores ringing bells with a collection can. The prevailing explanation is that is just a common thing in many Christmas movies.
You post some of the dumbest shite.

Walmart already does it a couple months out of the year for their big charity. I think it’s children’s miracle network

Now that nobody gets convicted of anything anymore there are less and less people in need of community service

Did not see a single one this year.
Didn’t see anyone “playing” the violin this year either. I guess that scam burned out.

The SA here in Charlottesville ran two billboards near UVA campus asking “whites” to reflect on their privilege 
Considering this town is full of old money, I don’t know what they were thinking. I walked past every bell ringer I saw this year with my hands in my pockets.
