Community Blood Centers

I have always given blood since I have a rare blood type, and have usually had a pleasant experience. Until today, when I gave blood at the Bloodmobile belonging to Community Blood Centers. They park outside of my office building, and solicit people for blood, which I don’t mind. I told them that I only had half an hour, and they assured me that I would be finished in 30the minutes. Unfortunately, the man in front of me (who mentioned that he was retired, and not on a time clock like the rest of us), had vein issues, and took forever, making everyone in line behind him late getting back for lunch. They should have taken from the people who had to get back to work first. Then, when it was my turn, I told them that I had a special promotional email from them. The lady kept tellingme that she would read it once she got me started. Then, when she FINALLY read it, she told me that the offer onlt applied if you gave blood at the facility! It would have been nice to have know before they stuck the needle in my arm. I would have waited, and gone to the facility Over an hour later, my boss was mad, I didn’t get my promotional offer, and overall, I was in a terrible mood. I will find a different organization who will appreciate my rare blood!
