    Fuck that … any time some idiot cashier asks me to donate to something I immediately and before they even finish, I will say ‘NO THANK YOU’

    If anyone ever asks me why I’m being so cheap, I remind them that the big giant corporation of a store that I am shopping at is more than capable of donating a few million dollars to the dumb charity they’re trying to push on everyone.

    Who’s the cheap one in this scenario? Me not wanting to give a few pennies to a charity? … or a corporation that isn’t donating a million or two for no reason other than that it is chump change to them?

      In fairness to cashiers, they’re not the ones spearheading these campaigns. They’re in the same boat as you except that their job security is contingent upon them presenting a donation option.
