Not sure if hypermarkets do the same thing in other countries, but I've seen it in the states and it pisses me off

Even if you can afford it and want to do it, doing it through them let's them take a tax cut through you. Instead of you taking the tax cut.
No, it fucking doesn't and every mouthbreathing moron who parrots this needs to have a long hard look at themselves.
Ronald McDonald House is a good charity. Pays for parents to stay near their sick kids' hospital. They do good work.
Stop trying to discourage people from donating to charity. You're actively making the world worse through your own ignorance.
I mean, it does in Spain. I know of a supermarket (Eroski) that asks for 0.50€ on the paying machine that you have to press no which goes to charities and if you don't get the tax break they get it. I'm not trying to discourage people from donating to charity, I'm discouraging people from using the supermarket as a proxy and donate directly themselves.
You are so aggressively pissed god damn, no one mentioned a specific charity, the post mentions the states but also other countries...
