They will tell you what is the best option when you go into donate as well as determine your blood type. Not really positive that they do that there but I expect that they would. I started donating around 1985 to impress a blonde woman where I worked in Belmont, CA. And a woman I would run into at various law librarian conventions ( 1989 Reno? 1992 San Francisco) was donating whole blood instead. They did tell me my blood type there. She looked just like a drawing I did of a woman in a magazine that I had given to a special family in Reno, Nevada who said that it reminded them of their recently deceased daughter. And the spitting image of both this lady at Information Access Company (Belmont, CA) and the woman in the drawing who was in a lot of my law school classes. The lawyer is a top immigration attorney in San Francisco.

I still donate blood to impress various blondes and brunettes now as well.
