“Would you like to round up to help children with their education?”

The Walgreens cashier told me that they had rounded me up to the nearest five dollars to support education. She said thanks as she handed me the receipt.

Most of that shite has gotten so vague. I'll donate to the Publix drive when they open it up after a disaster, but otherwise it is always a no.

El Taco Bell. I don’t go anymore bc I thought they were shafting me on the food bc I tell them no.. turns out they shaft everybody equally

Best part is the business collects the money tax free and then "donates" it under their corporate name and takes a corporate tax deduction with your money. OR they buy school supplies from themselves at full retail, take the profits and then donate those same supplies and take the tax deduction.

Brilliant really.

I only round up to pay for travel ball.

Translation: "Will you give my corporate overlords your change so they can write a big fancy check for media appearances without having to use any of their own money but take all of the credit?"

I'd help a kid who needs help and guidance, but I don't give shite to anything I don't know what exactly the money is going towards. They need more than "to help children with their education". Tax dollars already go towards education.

100% the store takes at least 50% of that.

If they truly wanted to help education they wouldn't price gouge and would lower their cost donating that amount on their own behalf.
