    Isn’t it because the store or restaurant uses your donation for a tax write off?

      No, but they’ll mention in their commercials how many millions they helped donate to charity. They’ll include a shot of somebody in a wheelchair or with some sort of injury smiling. Then they’ll show one of their workers smiling. Then, for some reason, the sun blowing out the camera lens. Finally they’ll show their logo and the charity’s logo, maybe with a line saying how much they care.

      Legally they can’t here, BUT they shove it down the customers throat about how much better they are for donating then you are and how you should be disgusted with yourself and buy some 12$ lays potato chips and 65$ ice cream that they so graciously put on sale for $2 off provided you use their app and suck galen Weston’s dick in his castle
