[nfbmi-talk] nfbmi-talk Digest, Vol 53, Issue 41

[Tonya Smith]

Yes, speaking of bell ringers I got signed up 1 year and they told me to call Reservation Army. Okay I called and I didn't have to fill out an application and they said no I couldn't do it because in a **** reason because I would be there by myself and either in the lobby or at different malls or whatever and if I said it down or if I was talking to somebody someone might take advantage and steal something out of there and I didn't argue I mean that's a good acceptable reason I think and I ask them I said could I have help and they said no, I'm like okay. So, you know hey it's okay though, besides I see what they do standing outside in the cold, no thank you, I'll pass.
