When I was in Vons today, I overheard two employees talking about what
they're going to bring to tomorrow's bake sale (10/30/04). Upon
inquiry, I was told they're having a bake sale for breast cancer
research. Upon further inquiry, each employee seems to be expected to
bring baked goods to sell for the charity. Upon even further inquiry,
the employees are supposed to buy the ingredients, as well as bake and
donate the finished proceeds. I plan to buy the baked goods as a way
to donate to a laudable cause, but I am a mite conflicted about it and
I'm not sure why.

Vons/Pavillions is giving their employees a venue to raise money for a
good cause. Vons/Pavilions is getting some good publicity on the
shoulders of their employees. The good cause gets good bucks. So, why
am I feeling "off" about this? (Too much work this week and my brain's
fried??)
