I like how all stores even the shady ones like dollar general now want you to give money to some 'charity' at check out. Like I'm going to help them with some tax dodging scam they are running. I no longer tip anywhere I go. I don't go to the places that force a tip on you.

I used to think this way until someone on lemmy told me it wasn't the case. Those donations are nontaxable - it goes directly to those charities.

See for yourself

And you don't get the tax receipt for them

Except I read a article that said they did get to use it as a tax dodge in certain cases. That article had a list of companies that used it that way and dollar general was on that list. At some point you have to accept that the whole system is rotten and for every responsible entity just trying to do a good thing there are ten others that define whats good by whats good for them and only them.

The peer pressure based donation for enabling corporate tax evasion is BS. It should be disallowed because all it’s doing is letting big corps not pay their due taxes
