Cynical much?
My guess is that you need to be a trusted member of the organization before you pull that duty.
And man…that’s a low thought.
Shut up, man! You’re gonna blow my gig WIDE open. Snitch.
There is a lock on the kettle (the correct term for the “pot”) and the bell ringers and their supervisor do not have a key. The kettles are returned to the Corps (Salvation Army’s term for “church”) and put into a locked and monitored room until counting time. There are always at least two unrelated persons, who are well known to the The Salvation Army officer in charge, who open and count the money. Often counting requires 5 or more people all working together and accountable to each other. Coin counting is usually done by machines. More and more we see checks and now some Salvation Army stands are taking secure credit card donations. If you want to be very secure, go to http://www.salvationarmy.org and make your donation by credit card online. The donation always goes to your local Salvation Army unless you specify otherwise.
