[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m ok with the screen for a tip, whatever, it’s just part of the app. What irritates me is the constant asking for charitable donations when I check out at the grocery store, petsmart, other places as well.[/quote]

Agreed. Just to be clear: it's not the donation, but the way it is handled. Two things bother me:

1. It could be a button to click to opt-in if you want to do a charitable donation, and then link to options. But instead it is almost unfailingly phrased in a guilt-inducing way -- "Do you want to prevent children from starving?" NO. No, I want them to starve?
2. My understanding is that this counts as a charitable donation for the *business.* Is that accurate? If I, the customer, use the platform to donate, then the business gets credit for this somewhere, whether in advertising or taxes, or both or something?

1 + 2 is really beyond the pale. [/quote]

It's both for me. I'm already supporting your business. Don't ask me for a donation. Don't make it seem like my choices are Good Person vs. Local Monster. Plus the customer pays for that donation but the business gets the tax break. That part always irritated me too.[/quote]
