This week’s syndicated Super-Couponing Tips column is entitled “Checkout charities irk shoppers.” Here’s an excerpt:
“Dear Jill,
“I would like to see you tackle the topic of ‘checkout charities.’ I am so tired of being asked to donate money to this charity or that charity when I am checking out at a store. I keep my charitable donations private and do not feel I have to donate to whatever a store’s charity du jour is this week or next week. Some of the cashiers make you feel very guilty if you don’t ’round up’ your change to the nearest dollar. I bet many people don’t realize the person doing the donating can’t write this off either as a contribution. The store gets the tax write off and the contribution to the tune of millions of dollars.”
