Fast Food Places make you look like an azzhole

TonyTotals · May 5, 2016

Every time you go into these places and order something they ask you if you'd like to donate $1 to feeding the homeless or cancer research, I say no thank you and then ask how much is it to super size my fries. Oh, a dollar fifty? I'll take it!

I feel like an azzhole enough, I don't need their help. Don't make me come into your joint and deny the needy $1 before I eat.

The pet stores do the same thing, ask for donation to help the homeless and abused animals. I already donate a lot of cash and time in pet rescue (that's my form of tithing), and I don't feel the obligation to donate more because I get a weird stare from a random cashier...

Every place does that. It's a scam. A way for them to pocket an extra dollar. Like a 19 year fast food worker cares about anything other than getting high/ drunk/ sex

I took car in for alignment and they even pulled that one there too. I went to YMCA and they pulled it again.

Not surprised with the YMCA because they're connected to the United Way, but I hear ya. It's give, give, give these days, as if we aren't slaves enough already...

I have no problem saying no. I say no in a way that makes them feel like an asshole for asking me

I tell them those organizations are scams. Then I really am the asshole. Destiny fulfilled.

"Not today'

Or

' I already have'

Both work fine.

Not exactly. They take all those donations from their customers and make the donation in their name; creating a huge tax deduction for the donation.

Oh and it shows as additional revenue in the financial report.

And Im a "not today" guy

There are good and bad ways to do it...

The dollar store does it shady and is probably a scam... "would you like to purchase a *insert item here* for *insert charity here* for those in need. Its only a dollar". Always looked shady as shit to me.

But on the other hand, the best I have seen (tactics and trustworthiness) when you make a purchase at The Franklin Institute gift shop, they ask if you would like to round up to the nearest dollar and it shows a as "donation" on the receipt.

good south park episode about the guilt trip charity donations..i dont know how to post clips but its at whole foods and features stand dad..very funny

so when (or if) we donate a dollar and then at the end of the month, that business cuts a big check for 50k, is that company getting the "tax credit" for the write offs? because not all of the time is the $1 donation put on the receipt.
