Comment on Soon you will be dealing with this at your supermarket check out shaming you to "donate"
IceFoxX@lemmy.world 1 day agoThere 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.
