Early Signs of a Fall From Grace

I used to like shopping at Wegmans. In fact, when I lived down south, and had to shop at other large chain grocery stores, it became evident that Wegmans provided quite a nice experience in comparison. Recently, however, I have become annoyed, so I thought I'd write a letter:

Dar Wegmans,

You are a successful and profitable company. You sell groceries, and you are very good at it. So why do you ask me for extra money every time I shop there? The minions who stand at your cash registers tell me it's to help feed the hungry. It doesn't seem like a lot, it's only a dollar. It would be selfish of me not to donate an extra dollar to such a worthy cause, wouldn't it? I feel a little like a jerk when I politely decline, over and over. But how do I know where that money goes?  And why are you really doing this? You are a profitable company.  If you want to feed the hungry, do it!  The need to beg people like me for the money, rather than take it out of your own coffers, and then to broadcast this "honorable" act for all to see and to praise you, indicates a level of putrefaction within your corporate soul that makes me throw up a little bit.

Shame on you for attempting to hide your desire for profit behind the veil of altruism. 
I think it's clear that you do this to make yourself look good in the public eye. This, in turn, increases profits. I have nothing against trying to increase profits by improving the products or services you offer. You should be proud of your desire for profit! Quid pro quo! But the attempt to increase profits by promoting yourself as a selfless organization is a contradiction within itself, and, by definition, evil. This behavior indicates that your organization is a lie. Thank you for the good stuff you have provided in the past. And thank you for the very pleasant environment you have created with your stores. I am willing to pay a little extra for those things. But, because you require, or cleverly encourage, your check-out people to badger your patrons, which at its core is an attempt to lay guilt upon them if they don't donate to this "good" cause, I will be seeking another place to shop. The moral code upon which your organization rose to great heights, seems to have gone bankrupt. The organization itself will undoubtedly soon follow.

Love, Jeff.
