Donations made by customers at checkout are not tax-deductible for the business, as the donation does not come from the company. According to TPC, the business only serves as a collector for charitable donations from its customers and has no right to claim any of the collected funds.
If you got this far in the comment, take a mental note to call this out the next time you see it. I too am very critical of the late stage capitalist hellscape we live in, but rounding up for charity is a rare instance of an unproblematic practice that is damaging to discourage as this post does. Charities do a lot of good and when you donate to them you are the one that gets the opportunity to do a writeoff.
Edit: If you are wondering why they do it then, it’s a psychological marketing technique. If you come to associate the good things that the Ronald McDonald House does with your McBurger, you are more likely to buy more tasty McBurgers. Sketchy? Sure, but it happens to be really effective at supporting charity work so it’s kind of a mutually beneficial arrangement.

it happens in movies because it happens in real life too. when in crisis, often there is sense of loss of control or autonomy. for most, something that can provide an outlet for such a frustration is one’s appearance. and, while men do too, women broadly tend to have the more intimate relationship with their hair. so: haircut (or hair dye, or both).
this shit (what the landlord did) should be illegal and prosecutable?
imagine renting farmland out to a farmer, waiting for them to plant and grow crops right up till before harvest, then try to pull a switch and up the rent because “🤓☝️the land is worth more now.”
like no shit the plants on the property add value. value that came directly from the tenant in hundreds of hours of labor and materials!!??!!
good on this tenant for getting the W on the situation. im sure for countless poor others the opposite has been true :(
So important that the memes get on top of this story and double down on this specific hypocrisy. Optically, this tragedy is perfect for the RNC to the point it could almost be staged except for the glaring weak spot that Republicans believe that the person who did this had every right to own a firearm. The memes need to absolutely rail at that chink in the armor and pretty much nothing else, otherwise this is nothing more than gained footing for MAGA.
