'Twas on a vendor demo call yesterday. There was a raffle for a $250 gift


card. "You'll be entered to win a $250 gift card or you can choose to have a donation made to America's VetDogs." The demo is winding down and before they end the zoom the CEO of the company says "Oh yeah, we're picking a name out of a hat for the gift card.... Hurley09, congratulations, you are the winner. We will be making a $250 donation in your honor."

WTF? You want my company's business you best believe you'll be sending me that gift card! While we're at it, throw in some other kickbacks. I'll take a 6pk of Fightin Hokies lager too!

(note: I would have told them to donate it anyway, VetDogs sounds like a more worthy cause than Hurley's Bar Tab, but dammit I was supposed to have the option to tell them that!)
