And when I donated, no one sat next to me the whole time!

Alot of the reasone why we require SSN as well as ID is we pay the donor for the "time it takes" to donate plasma. We have people who come in to try to donate that are homeless,IV drug users, exchange money/drugs for sex, have Hepa is( and in some cases...they know they have Hepa is and still donate),come in for a "free" HIV test,etc. I would say those are most of the reasons we are so "Selective".

omg! that happened to me too when I worked at West! this was a looooong time ago, one of my first jobs... soo sick! lol. i forgot what the guy called for I just remember it was some exercise machine/equipment. Turbo something.. anyway, he kept telling me to spell it, and when I would he would tell me "slower, spell it slower" and i would spell it slower having no idea what he was doing. he had the phone on speaker, eventually i heard noises that there was no mistaking what it was!! nasty lol

Could you repost that . . . slower?

Interesting, I didn't know it was still legal to pay people for donating.

That is why the are paid for their "TIME" and not for the Plasma. All the plasma centers in town pay for the "time".
