    Apparently a fair number of charitable orgs get a significant amount of their donations from point-of-sale donations, so they’re not all bad. They equate to essentially very pervasive advertising/soliciting for the charities in question.

    And the fact that the donation drives/partnerships whitewash the reputation of evil megacorps is just a bonus on top…

      Donations as part of a sale are a very american solution to the problem. Remember those shoes by Tom? I’m not unhappy about the results, just agreeing that for the company soliciting the donations, it’s a very easy and lucrative game.
