I make an exception for my local co-op; they partner with a different local charity every month, and most of them are fairly small and having a source like the co-op makes an enormous difference for them. I’m pretty sure the co-op itself isn’t pulling any shenanigans; if I really cared I could download the financials and work through it myself.
Otherwise, like you, I always say no. No at the pet store, because animal welfare funds are a major part of our yearly donations. Come to think of it, nowhere else I shop ever asks about rounding up for charity - just the co-op and the pet store. Odd.
