I had stopped at Walmart to pick up Mexican crema and was walking out past the in-store bank. At the entrance, a young female bank employee was Saran-wrapped to a chair holding a donation box that said: “Help! I can’t be freed until we raise $100 in donations for the local food bank.”
Standing next to her were two male employees. She begged for a donation, but I said I only had my debit card. One of the guys said “aw, come on. You don’t have any change?” at which point I pulled the debit card out of my pocket and waved it in front of him. Guy just rolled his eyes and I walked past.
I got about two steps and was so pissed at his attitude that I stepped into the self-check, bought a candy bar for 98 cents and then withdrew $100 in cash.
Then I walked back to bank, fanned out five $20 bills in front of the guys and said “I’ll put ALL of this in that container BUT ONLY if one of you men takes her place.” Mr Rolling Eyes just blinked, but the other guy was quicker on the uptake and said he would. And he did.
While being "wrapped" the guy in chair said “...and all the money goes to the food bank. We don’t keep any” as if this was somehow a bonus.
I also informed him my $100 didn’t count for his release amount. He had to stay in that chair and beg too, like they were making the female employee. He couldn’t look me in the eye but asked my name and I said “It's "Happy" at the moment.”
A male customer stopped next to me and said “ There must be a good reason for this, right?”
And I said: “Think of it as emancipation for all women.”
