Fake $100 Bill Placed In Greensboro Salvation Army Kettle

Greensboro, NC -- According to the Salvation Army, a
not-so-funny prankster intentionally put a
counterfeit $100 bill in one of the red kettles.

"Whenever we receive $100 bills there's a big
woo-hoo among staff," said Major Paul B. Egan of
The Salvation Army of Greensboro. "That high
feeling fell fast as soon as we determined this
Ben Franklin was a fake because we knew we had
less money to do our job."

Unfortunately, the Army receives all types of
non-monetary donation in their kettles including
buttons, batteries, foreign coins, stamps, fuses,
flattened pennies, slugs, and Chuckie Cheese token.

The Salvation Army expects to collect more than
$200,000 in its deployment of red kettles and
bell ringers around Greensboro.

Because they knew they had less money for their future keg party. Sounds
like the guy did the community a favor. Maybe now the bell ringers
won't be blocking the entrance of that particular store.
You can't even go Christmas shopping without those bell ringing bastards
blocking the entrance of a store. They never park their sorry asses where
the wealthy shop (posh stores) because they know rich fuckers will call the
police and have their sorry ass removed from the premises. 99% of the
wealthy refuse to give a dime for those in need. It's always left to the
poor and middle class suckers.
And another thing.....all of these so-called charities take 99% of the
donations to pay the CEOs multi-million dollar salaries and other
administrative costs. The children see about 1% of the money. Now they are
harassing customers at the cash register of every local discount store
(where the poor and middle class shop, of course) by asking for donations to
every so-called charity you can think of. When I get to the cash register,
I tell them that the CEOs and administration are the ones gleaning the
proceeds. Do you think they'll be asking for the wealthy to chip in at
Beverly Hills Stores or other upscale stores? Not hardly. Because they
know the wealthy don't want to be bothered with such tripe.

I do believe you have to get permission before setting up front of a
store. This is probably set up by The Salvation army a head of time
before Christmas so the bell ringers know where to set up at. O and I
doubt they're are that many poor people living in Los Angeles county
California. Saying it would be smarter to move else where you can
actually afford a home to live in.

They do. I work with the guy who is responsible for setting up the
locations locally. And they do try to get a good "mix" of locations

take care,

I have never seen such a hateful woman, which is why Lorrie is likely
a man.
