    This is like when fast food places ask if you want to round your order up to the next dollar to donate to x cause.

    Like, no, Taco Bell, I don’t want to pay you so you can turn around and get credit (both in terms of laundering their image, and for tax purposes) for my donation.

      I was at a fast food place a few days ago and the drive tru employee asked me if I wanted to round up. I asked him for what and he didn’t know. Just wanted to round up to the nearest dollar for the fuck of it I guess. Shit is already too expensive without corporations asking for a handout.

      Taco bell doesn’t get a tax credit. I don’t know about the charity they donate too, but most fast food charities are actually pretty good uses of money and $.50 makes your accounting easier while works out to millions to a good cause. For sure check what charity they give the money too first, but in general this is an easy way to make a difference.
