Because then they'd have to eat into their own profits, and they'd rather die than do that.
Easier to pressure the people they're already profitting off of to give them more money then claim "we" donated to so-and-so charity for good PR and a tax deduction.
(they do not get to claim your donations as tax deductions, that is a myth)
They make exactly zero dollars more by taking a donation. It’s purely for PR.
Infuriates me as well. I don't think they realize how it looks and sounds in 2026.
They often do. It's pretty common for them to match the customer's donation.
Usually up to a limit.
yes
Any time you say no to some donation request, know that saying no is the normal (statistical) thing to do. Otherwise, the donation request wouldn't exist: People democratically said no to this (either directly or representatives) at the tax level so we need external money gathering tools.
If you're so inclined, set up a monthly or annual donation directly to a cause you care about. Then you can ignore those prompts and have a chip on your shoulder about it, and you get the tax deduction instead of Profits Incorporated getting it.
You still get the tax deduction if you donate at the till, fyi. The store does not (nor would it make any sense to, anyway - if they claim it as profit, then claim it as donation, the net is zero).
They are, using your money so they can get the tax right off....
This feels like you consciously made errors just to irritate people. What's with the random comma? And "tax right off"... seriously?
"Right off" is an error, but the sentense parses if you replace the comma with a dash
Using an em dash, yes.
"tax right off" is the kind of text you might get using voice-to-text. I know because I use it every day and it is obnoxious as fuck. On a related note, it does not know that "every day" is two words unless you mean "everyday", even if you carefully pause in between the two words. Sometimes voice-to-text transliteration will even show the correct input and then "fix it" to something like this.
Also, simply bad autocorrect when typing is still a thing.
Don't get hung up on that.
um that's illegal. I mean your spelling of "write off", but also that charity deduction thing, that's not true.
I feel like we need pinned comment every time this comes up because the mythology around this topic is so pervasive.
Donating small amounts along with a purchase saves a lot on transaction cost for the non profit organization.
Non profits love these things for volume.
Stores do not make money offering these.
If you dislike being pressured to donate at POS, by all means don’t do it, I don’t either!
I want potatoe coupons!
