i run a very giving league on the south side of town, where i grew up. i know what it's like to not have the fun things that you want as a kid, so i try and be very giving with the kids that cannot afford their own decks; heck, i am with all the kids.
yesterday's league i was doing a promotion where the 1st 5 kids that brought someone new got a pack of legends awakened from me, out of my own pocket, of course.
four kids brought new players with them. of the four kids that reveived the boosters, not a single one of them said thanks. so be it. not a one of them picked up their trash, one of the kids lied to me about it not being his trash, and i later caught him, after he pulled & sold a magnezone lvl x for $20, stealing cards from me. he does not get to return.
i know that kids are all id, and these kids do not have the benefit of good households, but this really broke my heart. that $20 that i spent was my fun money for the week.
i don't want/need to be a martyr, but it made me feel pretty gross.
