I see your donation was a significant cash donation. We would get receipts for that here too and I gladly take them. Charities here do not pester us only give receipts and that's it.

I used to take a lot of things into a local charity shop, but I got fed-up of being scowled at, asked what the bags contained and then given a reply along the lines of "Oh, well, I suppose we can take them. Put them there," without so much as a please or a thank you, that I stopped taking them there. I still donate to other shops and give money to other good causes, but not to that one. A little politeness goes a long way.Tracynoreply@blogger.com
