Self checkouts are asking for the donations, too. The regular checkouts do so on occasion. The self ones do it incessantly.

I love when they ask for my phone number for no apparent reason. I'll pay cash for something and they will ask if I have their savings/coupon/gimmick card. I'll say no and they ask if they can have my phone number. No. Why do you need my phone number? It's refreshing when I can go to a store, pay for what I want, and leave without being asked a million questions. I already get that at work I don't need it in the grocery store too and everywhere else I go.
I donate to select charities on occasion. But I cannot get sucked into throwing all my money at the endless charities out there. I look at it this way: Who the f*ck is going to give me money if I give it all away? Who is going to pay my bills? I realize I have become quite selfish as I age and am embracing it. I pay my taxes and the government should learn how to better manage it and then they can figure out where it needs to go.
I am pretty upset as I write this, I just spilled a large mug of coffee on the carpet. [censored] hands...

Most every time I see Girl Scout set-up I ask what there favorite cookies are and buy a box and hand it over to the little girl . It makes there day. I do sometimes add a buck at the stores checkout , but not real often. I figure I blow money on some stuff at times and hope this is getting put to good use. But like mentioned I think execs are overpaid in some charities and other business.
Anybody that asks me to donate to a Charity, I just tell them that I believe charitable donations should be anonymous.
I find that people that donate to Charity, and then make a big deal about announcing their 'generous gift', are doing so for self-aggrandizement.

Do you ever ask them if they're made from real girl scouts?

A girl scout one hinted at me that men 'prefer' peanut butter cookies and made me buy 3 boxes of cookies.

I don't believe the money will actually go to the charity.

A lot of boy/girl scout troops, school fund raisers set up right at the entrance to stores around here. Not a huge fan of it TBH. They chase you in and chase you out. I donate to different organizations, sorry
