Worked at a globally popular fast food francise many years ago. They had collection boxes for a charity that they raised money for. None of the money went to that charity, but was divided between owners and managers.
This doesn’t surprise me at all, not even a little. You’re a multi million or billion dollar company and you’re asking me to provide charity that you can use as a tax break? Even if they were using it for charity it’s still a way to subsidize bottom line with customer money and “look” altruistic in the process.
I always say to the cashiers who are forced to ask us to donate that I will be donating directly to the charity online. Not through a multi million dollar company. When I think how a company does this for no other reason for free pr on other people’s coin, I have absolutely no guilt saying nope.
I believe that is a hoax. Or at the very least misinformation. Although some areas might be different. It’s not a solid argument they are getting a tax break. PR is definitely why they do it across the board though.

Why not name them?

Oh, it’s more than PR. They get to donate your money and get the tax break for doing it.
