for the first 5 visits (every other day/ no more then 2x a week) and then (I think) 25 first and 40 second. I know that after the first 5 times you make more money in a month with the normal pay cycle. Money is tight again and we are in the middle of a move so I will for sure 100% use CLS again. Great workers and clean harvest area. The only complaint that I have, other than the cop that was there being a mega ass, was the wait time for new doners took for ever. At least 3 hours. But they were also nice enough to give me a free VIP card that on my second visit I could present that card and go right to the head of the line. I highly recommend CLS Plasma on Fredsrickburg Rd for first or repete doners. Never a problem with my card and the staff was top notch. Oh and sometimes the workers will sell food for the people waiting. Of course you can't use your new card to buy but it's cheep and good. Thanks CLS. You are doing great things and letting me help. Plus the money is good.
