    My problem is the store asking for me to donate could just as easily donate from their Olympic sized swimming pool of profits and solve the issue right there.

      Yes, it’s not much different from tipping. Puts the burden of responsibility in the wrong place. If a business wants to support charities and use it in marketing, just give money to charities and tell people how much it was. And/or give people the contact details of the charities if you want to promote them.
