[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind the tip jars for working people.  I think that customers should be able to show appreciation.  But most charities are scams or at minimum money wasters.  I would rather put my money in a tip jar so it can help a worker via paying some charity CEO $$$$$ salary.[/quote]
OP here. And if what a PP said is true (regarding the write-offs corporations take on their customers' donations), I'm actually putting money in the CEOs pocket by improving their bottom line. I'm parting with my hard-earned money so some massive company can reduce their tax obligation? Never again.

I also wonder about all these police associations that call in the phone for donations. I used to give, but then I read that they are a fund-raising group who "use" the police in their money-raising pleas, and then turn only a small amount over.

Just like the Purple Heart "charity". If you read about it they actually take advantage of the people who work for them and give next to nothing to vets.[/quote]
