I can see what you are saying. However, I know enough people who have been scraping by until their payday on Friday, but then I work in a nursery.

Yes I think we take your point Missy, but it might have (in retrospect ) been a good idea if the Nice Mr Bagelman had thought to mention the previous poll at the start of this thread ie.... Following last weeks Poll blah blah blah.....then we would have known what he was suggesting had more credibility, if you know what I mean. Which is more than I do at the moment! Goodnight

You mean something like: "Thank you for your response to our poll and for showing your most desired outcome to be a 20% donation to REMF.", which was the very first sentence in his post?
Yes, that would have been very helpful. But only to those who read as far as the first sentence, of course.

Precisely, this is a donation offer via NSC, of course as a Bagelman customer you can also use one of the other offers available, i.e. bus ticket for a 20% discount.

Hey guys, you're right we shouldn't be too subtle, should we? We wanted to be very transparent whilst generating awareness for our new store and raising some money for REMF.

No, I meant using a charity as a vehicle to drive up sales for your shop.
I'm getting fed up of some of the responses we keep getting towards those making genuine offers to NSCers/Albion fans whilst also helping to finance the site.
On this particular occasion, [MENTION=29964]Bagelman[/MENTION] posted a poll to ask what offer appealed most. The verdict was a donation from every sale to what is NSC's unofficial charity of choice.
You have two options...
1. Participate in the offer.
2. Ignore it.
I really can't see a loser in what is being proposed here, but some just have to be negative for the sake of it and this approach is not going to do me in any favours in trying to attract advertisers and future offers. It's particularly disappointing when many have not even bothered to read the first post, such is their rush to post criticism.

Yes, yes they will. It's been the longest month of the year, pay-wise and I'm incredibly skint.

I know, it's a mystery to us, every morning they're freshly baked and every morning the middles are missing!
BTW you should try the Bagel Chips, they're fantastic pieces of bagel mixed with the most tasty ingredients, a real crunchy treat. Paprika is my favourite!

Well for myself, and in defence, I certainly wasn't maligning Mr Bagelman (topman), when I questioned the necessity to show tickets and the like when bagel buying to qualify our remittance to REMF. Only because I was unaware of the preceding Poll.

Ooh, used to literally drool waiting for lunch when I worked on Middle St. When hungover nothing, I mean nothing would do save for a ham cheddar slaw bagel. Great staff in there too. God I want one now! If I asked for a bagel where I live now I'd probably be burned in a Wicker Man.

Well you should budget better then! If I see you at the station then I shall buy you a Bagel

Just read earlier comments. Running a business isn't easy, if you have run your own you'll know. It's all about making business links, making business friends and helping each other out, if REMF makes a bit out of it why not!? It's called a business community and if it's including BHA then all the better. If the only work you've ever done is to line someone else's pockets you may not get this but honestly, as a small business in a town like Brighton if you don't make those connections you're dead in the water. And it's a bloody lovely product as well.

Thanks Alan! I have bought a house this month as well!

Fair enough! I guess it's not something that you do every month! Hope the move goes/has gone well.
If you see Ben before me (likely) at the station, get him to buy you a bagel on my behalf. Tell him it's a pay forward, he will understand!!
