            If they at least add an opposing position like "Would you like to kill a gecko for a 5% discount?"

              I'm not apologetic about it any more.

              When any company asks me to donate i say no. If there's a cashier or rep that gives me a look or says something ..... I tell them that their company can spare 0.0001% of their profits to give way more than all their customers combined. Don't ask me who to donate to, I give to the charities of my choice when I can. Your company has way more free money to give to not just one charity but many charities if they wanted to but never do and instead choose to collect the money as more profit for themselves and their investors.

                  There is also a huge difference between donations (unsolicited) and begging (requests). It should definitely be considered begging by the company in question with all the legal consequences such as tax evasion etc.

                      Or even worse, the company not donating anything but instead handing over all the public donations pretending that it was their work that caused it. They give nothing but instead gain all the publicity and recognition .... in the end profiting from charities and the good will of people

                        Unfortunately, the "trend" is also increasingly arriving in Europe... The best thing is the self-service tills, which are supposed to save staff costs and then the question of donations for doing the work yourself.
                        Well, I don't like that sort of thing on principle and if I donate, I give the money to the person who deserves it. So only in cash anyway.

                            'No' every time. You can't shame me into it: I have none. Besides, there's plenty of ghekkos at my place already.

                              'No' is a complete sentence. They don't need any more information than that.

                                And honestly, the cashier doesn't deserve hearing the rest of it unless they ask why.

                                  I wouldn't tell them even if they did ask why. It's none of their business.
