Will Your Store Match Your Customer Donations?

Whenever I'm asked at a big store outlet to donate to a cause at the cash, I ask this question. If the franchise which makes hundreds of millions of dollars per year says "No, we don't."...then I won't donate.

I got into two arguments over this in the past...once at a Gas Station...the other at the Beer Store. Neither could tell me they were also donating to the cause and it wasn't all just off of the backs of their customers.

Then the company broadcasts/ boasts how much it raised for such and such a cause when it was really off of the backs of it's patrons.
 

The guy at the Fuel Company who asked me for the donation got all indignant and rude with me when I asked if his company was also pitching in to the cause.

I told him if he couldn't answer my question, then get bent and I Moonwalked out of his store with both guns blazing.

Maybe the better way is to just send a check directly to the food bank or whatever charity they're trying to get us to support at the checkout. Mind you, I don't mind just buying a few extra cans of something at the supermarket and dropping it in the food bank box. Even if I send them a check, they're just going to head to the supermarket to spend that check (and the others) to buy stuff to put on their shelves.
