As if the cashier is trying to engage in a discussion of class. As if they aren't paid to ask. Just say no and feel secure with your own reasons without having to justify yourself. It's like when I worked at ace hardware in high school and every boomer would need to tell me how dumb it is to phase out incandescent light bulbs. Trying to preach to someone about your convictions against their will is so pointless and annoying.

Or...I can address questions that are asked to me and provide me reasoning in a non condescending way to hopefully educate others on the subject...

Who's preaching...I'm not starting the topic of discussion, they are. In your words, they are being paid to start this conversation. I don't go shopping to be asked to give money for nothing, so if they open with that discussion they will know my reasoning for not donating.

Don't see what your frustration with manufacture changes has to do with a company directly begging for free money from its customers but ok...

They must start the topic to have the job. They likely already know. They likely don't care. Your game forces them to pretend to care. You are holding them hostage because their genuine reaction would be to ignore you but they can't do that while working. You are causing them mental pain. You are forcing them to be something they aren't until you leave.

And? No, the company's game forced them to care by paying them to care. The company initiated contact with me, so I continued it. They are literally being paid to talk about this. I'm not holding them hostage at all.

Your mental paid is a retarded exaggeration. I'm sure the companies do way worse mental attacks then me calling their company shit

Also their company is forcing them to be someone and something they aren't. I'm not. I'm playing along with THEIR bullshit.

You think your standing up for the cashier's, but really your standing up for billionaires who would gladly kill you and sell your body for profit. Good job.

It's like blaming an ethernet cable for giving your computer a virus.

The designer of the virus is the asshole, and you would be the idiot who went to the website.

You are right that mental pain is an exaggeration, but it's the accumulation of insufferable interactions that make you hate retail. When 25% of people expect you to act for them, you feel like a puppet. YES the business demands this, but the customer invokes it. So don't invoke it and let workers sigh relief when you decide not to try to "test" their company response. Is this really that complicated?

Or, I can voice my opinion when someone trys to get me to give money to billionaires. Nothing you say will change my mind, keep typing away though. It's enjoyable watching your frustration that I don't conform to your standards of allowing people to be blinded by billionaires begging for more.

You think you are heard when you do this? Is there any gain for anyone at all?
