    “No, I prefer to donate money directly, and if your company really cared about the cause then they would just donate without asking the customers to foot the bill”

    Of course, the 9/10 times the cashier agrees and is only asking because their supervisor could be within earshot and decide to reprimand them for not asking.

      Yeah. I know you’re just adding it for the comment. But don’t actually bother the cashier with some grandstanding or lecturing. Honestly, a good “nah, I don’t like kids” is a much better response to brighten their day. They’ve heard Karen complain about the guilt trip nature 100x already.

    Just Always say no. Don’t feel guilt, just say no. If it is a charity that you actually care about then still say no and donate to the charity yourself. Why give GiantCorp money for charity when they are trying to bully you with psychological bullshit, making their employee have awkward interactions with customers, AND then taking a tax write off for donations they did not even make! The 50/50 gets me to, If GiantCorp wats to donate then donate don’t use it as a marketing ploy.

    South Park did this joke years ago and it was great. Randy was the best before he became a pot farmer.
