Is it just me or what ? Re; Cashiers asking for donations

[longpointer]

Is it just me or do you find after saying no to the cashier after she asks you to donate a buck or two to whatever cause that store is backing that week that their attitude towards you isn't quite the same ? I'm not cheap. I have my list of groups that I will donate to. I do not like panhandling... especially at a corporate store that is already making a profit from me shopping there. Does the corporation match my donation as in dollar for dollar ? Does the cashier get a bonus or prize for scoring the most donations ?

I just say, no thanks.

Most cashiers detest having to ask you about the round up style donations it's just part of doing what you are told. I have never heard of one getting a bonus from it but who knows.

Perhaps once that I felt I got a funny look for saying no but I don't believe in those sort of things. The overall egg collection fee is huge. I would bet that a minimum of 10% goes right back into store pockets.

It's a pet peeve of mine. I feel the same way. If the store was matching $ for $ I'd for over the buck or two, but when I'm shopping there, there's enough of my money being spent. Another is, when I'm out for dinner and the waitress asks if I want change back. Bring me my change and I'll decide what I want to tip without you having to ask for it. The biggest rip off is having to pay a .05 for a plastic bag because they don't want people using plastic bags because it's bad for the environment. Well if it's that bad why not switch over to paper bags. Then it wouldn't bother me as much. That nickel a bag is the biggest money grab ever...

We mostly always pay up the extra dollar or 2 when they ask. I dont think they receive any extra bonus for it it just something the stores do to help. Only about 3 to 5 percent of the time we say not right now.

Some of these organizations needs all the help they can get . They are always changing the cause so the same store will do many different causes each year . No different from When the fire trucks block the parking lot for their annual boot drive. They always get a few bucks too.

I get tired of the setup in front of the door every single weekend at every busy store all year round. It used to be just local groups once in a blue moon but in my neck of the woods it's a constant bombardment from every charitable cause under the sun. Then the cashier still asks if you'd like to donate.

We get the same but it is mostly raffle tickets, Lions club, hospital, etc. Doesn't really bother me but it's a small town and you know most of them anyway.

No, I haven't felt a difference after saying No thank you....

For every cent they collect and donate, the store gets a TAX right off.

Same as any charitable donation, but they get the tax deduction not you.
