Spent two hours yesterday outside Walmart handing out Poppies for the American Legion.
Women give more than men, older women give more than younger women, old vets love to talk, eye contact works better for contributions, head down fast walkers look embarrassed as they walk by, dollar seems the most popular donation, but they received a poppy for a quarter as well as a 10 dollar bill.
Had a young man stop, game me a dollar and asked what the American Legion was, and what was it about a poppy, I said it's a veterans organization and told him look it up on his Iphone. He stopped again as he left Walmart and said he did and also said Thank You, didn't hear that from any other young adult.
There are a LOT of strange people that shop Walmart.:usa
