If I’m in the checkout at a business, say McDonald’s or Walmart or Kroger or whatever, and they ask if I’d like to round up to donate to some charity, I usually say yes. But should I be doing this? I heard somewhere that I shouldn’t because they can claim that as a donation from them which contributes to them paying less taxes or something, I’m not sure if that’s 100% how it works but I figure that it benefits them somehow or why else would they do that?

    I wouldn’t trust corporations.

    Say you want to donate 10 dollars. How do you know they wont lie and pocket 5 dollars and only give the charity 5 dollars.

    Just donate directly if you really want to donate. And research the charity before donating.
