I kind of agree with you? My point with mentioning GoFundMe as stated was to say don't do that. It seems like people set one up every time something happens and it just doesn't make any sense in the case of a business that's still open. If you like the business just support the business in the normal way: buy stuff.

Anyway, moot point: I guess someone approached the family with that idea and they said don't.

Also I can totally relate to not wanting to support a former employer.
