I'm just instinctively averse to corporate bullshit because corporations don't do anything unless it serves them in some way.

Why do I have to round up to a dollar? I just dropped 159$ shopping at your store, you round up and give some of your profits to charity, don't guilt trip me with this nonsense as you rape me with fake sales and shrinkflation.

I'll donate to charities that I want and I'll give more than a miesely dollar.

i totally get that, and your instincts are noble, which is probably why this misconception is so pervasive. i too was in your position once, but yeah, no harm is done by donating at checkout.
