So apparently they are having a rough go of it lately. Well la de da, so is nearly every one else.

Dear Sal,
You are having trouble getting folks to drop the coins and stripper money (that's a $1 bill to your a-holes that have never shoved paper money in to an 18 year old strippers G before) ....
Wait .. where was I ... Oh yeah!
You have issues with donations. Well here is a way to help;
STOP hiring the disheveled street bums to jingle your bells. Or at best get them a set of clothes that does not smell like urine and Mad Dog 20/20. The local businesses are mobbed by the bell ringing D-bags this last week and each one has some old crusty dude that is barely awake standing near it ringing a bell.
And hold on ... the bell? Your public persona is a dude in uniform ringing a large hand bell. Where the hell is THAT guy? These days you bastards stick any old bum out in front of a store ringing an annoying tiny tinker bell.
Well firstly, I don't give money to dudes/chicks on the street. EVER. I don't care what type of bucket they are holding. Fire department? NO. Police? NO. Shriner? NO. Homeless A-holes? NO. Fuck off. Random street walking folks will get nada, regardless of what 'uniform' they wear.
Secondly, watch people as they enter these store and see that huge numbers of folks do everything they can to avoid the eye contact or even basic acknowledgement of the kettle.
Stop it .. stop stop stop. Xmas is shitty enough as it is. Keep your smelly bums away from the store entrance.
Also .. its 2011 ... it is FAR cheaper to set up an UNMANNED donation kiosk where both real and electronic funds can be given. Cheaper, safer, faster.
According to your last financial report, a substandard report with sketchy details, you spent 12% of your 'earnings' in 2010 on management and facility. Compared to other organizations this is small to be true, but you CAN DO better.
Recap;
No more smelly pee bums.
Get with the times. 1852 is long gone. Put the bells down and embrace technology.
Get the hell away from the store.
No. Just, no.
