hi as the holiday season is going to start soon please remember two things:

• don’t donate to the salvation army because it is a racist, homophobic, all around shitty charity
• don’t yell at the salvation army bell ringers just because they volunteered to work for this shitty charity. it’s likely that they don’t actually know what they’re promoting and you yelling at someone when they believe they’re honestly doing a good deed is going to help no one.

Both of these things are good advice

Explaining to the people that you enter the store with why you don’t donate to the Salvation Army, possibly within earshot of the bell ringers?  Perfectly acceptable.  

Actively haranguing bell ringers?  Dick move.
