edit: you should also know that you should just donate directly to the charity, but I thought that was common knowledge

Apparently the idea that it gives corporations a tax break is a misconception, rather, YOU get the tax break! edit: yes you have to have receipts, thought that was common knowledge and didn’t think i needed a disclaimer

Thanks to @[email protected], @[email protected], and @[email protected] for that info!

    It sucks being put on the spot to donate to a charity I haven’t researched, but I’ve also been a cashier and hated being forced to ask people shit like this.

      The worst is when it’s really vague. “Would you like to round up to help veterans?” How? What charity is it? Are we talking homeless vets or “freedom flights” hauling old war vets to the respective memorials? I need details, and some advertising of said charity so I know that the charity in question expects money, assuming there even is one.
