If, for example, you are at checking out at Home Depot and they ask you “would you like to round up your total to the nearest dollar to benefit x__________ charity” DONT do it. They are taking that money and donating it in their name and using that donation to be tax exempt.

If you feel so inclined, donate it personally and help hold these mega corporations accountable for what little taxes they do have to pay.

    I worked at a fast food place that did this, and we had daily quotas we had to hit each day or we got in trouble. i got in trouble so often because I refused to do it that they lowered my quota to like a dollar because they didn't want to have to write me up. and then I still refused to do it lol
