“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.

meh, there’s a lot more nuance to this.
(all assuming the charity is legic)
The companies aren’t really saying “we want to donate this money”. They are just nudging people to donate a little bit, with the goal that if a lot of people donate a little, the charity will still have money in the end (and the company gets a tax break).
You need to understand, that almost all of the people nudged will not donate to a charity otherwise. And now they have the chance to donate a little bit without much effort.
In the end, good charities have more money for their work. And that’s always a good thing

“I don’t like kids. Not raw, anyway.”
“I love babies: they’re great roasted with small potatoes” - some baddie in one of the original Mad Max films.

Companies don’t get tax breaks for their customers’ donations.
Depends on the country
