You're correct AK Girl.  For a time I donated to a particular individual with the blood disorder.  Found out later they weren't giving that person the blood i donated AND throwing away my perfectly good O neg.  Made absolutely no sense.  They didn't give it to her could have used it for someone else.  That individual also noticed when they were giving her "older dated" blood...said it was more often than not.  

Went to the BBofA  (across from Valley Walmart) on a scheduled day for newborn donations.  Was informed donations had already been picked up, despite the fact they gave a specific window for these donations. Disorganized...but they at least had good cookies.  

The new building IMHO stinks.  It may be better from a technical standpoint, however the facility is far less inviting than the old digs. Was a total letdown after they opened....too industrial.  

Their half-a-cog-off management hasn't stopped me from donating gallons over the years or donating many more in the future.
