Anytime you’re asked that, it should be read as “would you like to donate to our tax break”.

Just say no to all of them and donate to the causes you want to support yourself.

When asked this question by a cashier, i will ask them if the company matches donations. They reply has usually been no, when it simply wasnt just IDK.

Edit: downvoted for refuting misinformation lmao, a very easily googleable wives tale that has circulated and been disproven countless times.

Then I am curious, how does it work? I don’t think many people are going to claim thirty cents leftover from coffee on their taxes, but walmart is certainly happy to get the benefit if it can.

Insane inflation caused mostly by the profiteering of companies like Walmart causing people to starve and Walmart to profit like never before and even increase their market share!

Do Walmart do the only humane and honorable thing and share their windfall with the people who made it possible and who need it more than ever? FUCK NO! They steal wages from the already desperately poor and add them to their fucking useless treasure hoard! 🤬

Well a rich person always needs “a little more” that they can squeeze out of poor people.

Printing money for “stimulus” didn’t help either. Neither did the corporate bailouts.

So, I don’t know if you all knew this or not, but WalMart has everything inside to start a proper medieval riot. Pitchforks, sticks, cloth, I’m even pretty sure they have something we can use as pitch in the camping section. Or we can modernize. They have glass bottles, lighter fluid, rags, and lighters. And the best part is if you use it all inside the store you don’t even have to pay for it.

That will surely change things! My guy this world isn’t changed by individual choices no matter how much you want to believe it.

You want improved conditions in Walmart? Tell their workers to unionize and fight for their dignity.

Tell that to AB after the whole Bud Light thing. Individual protests DO actually add up just fine.

Yeah… No. The bud light gone woke shit was a nation wide phenomenon and not just independent actions of a few individuals. Not mentioning the constant news coverage, social media activities and videos made by conservaturds to get eachother together on the same page. You want a boycott that works? Learn a thing from them and realize it requires a large connected network of like-minded and cooperating individuals willing to follow a “party line”.

The bud light thing is far from a disorganized individual protest.

It’s also disingenuous to say that a large store chain many Americans depend on for living is the comparable to a piss canning company.
