If this became real, it wouldn't affect me and I'm introverted and near mute in public. I already do this with the "would you like to round up to donate" bullshit. I only have problems saying "no" if it will possibly hurt a person's feelings; idgaf about the feelings of a business.

Fair enough, but you should know that the money you donate by rounding up doesn't in any way benefit the business. It's your donation and iirc you could even technically write it off your own taxes (doubt it's worth the hassle though)

Also the thing about tips is that it will unfortunately hurt peoples feelings because at least in some places they probably earn below minimum wage. It's absolutely bullshit, but not participating isn't the perfect solution it might seem

Not strictly true. CVS, a US retailer, announced they would be donating $10 million to a charity and would be supporting the charity via customer round-up prompts as well.

In reality, they were including the customer donations in the $10 million, so anything customers donated saved them money.
