Every single retailer begging for money at checkout

So they can write off your hard earned money as a donation, after they rake you over the coals with inflated prices due to theft and high demand from poors spending your tax money with their Luzeeanna Purchase debiks card.
That is all, thank you for your attention to this matter.

You can easily say no.

I am also tired of the corporate bumming.
Once had a female clerk yell, "You don't support the troops!" when I declined to chip in to a Chevron bum campaign for a military charity. I told her that I donate plenty to charity, but I choose who to support with my money. Chevron is welcome to donate all of their money they want, but I'm not going to give Chevron money so they can brag about how much support they give to a charity. Use their own damned money.
I used to assume they used it as a tax dodge, but there have been a few articles explaining that they can't. Now, maybe they come up with some shady accounting to get there anyway, but Kroger turning over our donation to charity does not allow Kroger to take a deduction. Stores Can't Write Off Donations Made at Checkout More on the issue from Legal Clarity

I'm not even sure there's any legit charities out there anymore. If it's not the administrators paying themselves exorbitant salaries, it's being given to people that actually have means.

The "Feed the old Ukraine Joos commercials are a scam. That bitch took over the family business from her father, a rabbi that started this 501c3 in the 70's. She pulls over a million per year out of the old Joos food money for herself.
They claim your $25, monthly, donation feeds an old lady for a month. Her salary is worth 40,000 months.

I give to St. Jude and to my church every month. Those are the only two that I trust, and I’m not even sure I have 100% trust that my church is doing the right thing with my donation.

I just googled it and 82-84% goes to research, patient care, and future needs. That sounds pretty good. You can't expect them not to have some operating costs.

Catholic? Google says 75-85% goes to operating expenses at the parish level. It says Catholic Relief Services and Catholic Charities USA use up to 95% of donations for the stated mission. It looks like they pulled that info a site called Catholic Culture. Not sure I'd trust that.

I asked the priest if they using my money to feed illegals crossing the border. He told me when that money went into the basket it was no longer mine. I made sure that my money never went into that basket again.

I stopped rounding up on purchases for charities along time ago, I don't care if it's a penny.

Please explain for the class how this transaction flows to the financial statements and tax return for the benefit of the retailer.
Show the class the journal entries.
I'll help you out in a very simplified version ignoring timing:
JE #1: You donate $1.00 at checkout at Kroger for Save the Kids Charity:
Debit Cash $1.00 (increases cash that Kroger has)
Credit Charity Liability (Balance Sheet Acct. Kroger promises to pay the $1.00 to Save the Kids (aka not their money))
JE #2: Kroger donates all the money received at end of campaign
Debit Charity Liability (closes out the liabilty created in JE #1)
Credit Cash (decreases cash that Kroger has)
The transactions only have a balance sheet impact and there is no income statment impact or "write off" for Kroger to take.
Do they get good PR? Sure but they do not get a write off for your charitable deduction. Kroger is merely a third party agent between you and the charity.
Hope that helps stop this disinformation every time this topic comes up.
