Agreed, but they must ask first. When I exit a store and someone's there wiping down my car, he gets nothing. I won't participate through guilt or intimidation. Only cooperation.

I'm a lavish tipper, BTW.


You betchagotta ask first, and I have the right to politely decline your service, too... but, Dennis, gimme tha' tip ;)

The theory is that takes away income from clothing shops in Mexico as something free is unfair competition... even if the recipients cannot afford to buy clothes for themselves!

I used to bring bags of my kids outgrown clothes to Juanita at Cielito Lindo and JR at La Barca so they could help those in need...


Yah otter know, you can slather on lipstick, slip into a low cut gown and smuggle 700 lbs of wimmens clothes and I promise you I really believe no one will say a word...

I had a student many years ago (15+) who told me her son died of a drug overdose and she started CREAD in his honor.
