All these retailers asking me if I want to donate money to X cause. I'll donate money when 90% of it doesn't go to administration of the charity and/or it isn't used to reduce the company's tax bill.
What retailers are these? I haven't seen it happen much locally, might be more of a mainland thing?

When they ask me, it normally only rounding up to the next dollar. Sometimes if they ask I'll say yeah add $2. $2 is nothing much out of my pocket and if they use it to pay wages then so be it.

I don't get asked often though, as I rarely go to shops who mention it, I think Coles Express might? and Chemist Warehouse. I rarely buy coffees and I don't really buy much else unless its a vehicle related expense and I normally click and collect on those. I never buy electronics and can't really think of any other retailers, us blokes would go to?

As it is, it would be once a month that I get asked, so hardly a problem around here it would seem.

I will add the last pair of shoes I bought was about three years ago. I am needing a new pair of shoes to go with my suit as don't have any. It will be interesting to see if Myer ask for donation when I go in and get a pair, just waiting for them to come on sale.

Yeah, I buy those most days. I don't recall Coles or IGA asking for a donation though? Not sure if they do that on the mainland?

I was thinking OB must be out buying electrical goods or clothing or something else fairly regularly to be asked so often?

Is the suit new, if so whats the event?
Suit was bought in 2018 when I got married. Going to the step-daughters wedding so need a pair of shoes. The six year old pair would hurt my feet, as I have wide but short feet so they went to the op shop.
