Many stores do donate to charities. (not out of the goodness if their hearts, because they don't have hearts)
Point of sale donation collections are not tax write offs for the companies, no matter how many times the lie is repeated on the internet. Those donations are yours and you can claim them on your taxes.
You should not feel guilted into donating if you cannot afford it, and you shouldn't donate to a cause you don't believe in. But POS donation collections are a force for good, getting charitable causes in front of the eyes of millions.
I guess I just have such a tainted view of corporations that my immediate thought is "what's in it for them?" It makes it pretty easy to accept the misinformation at face value, unfortunately. I still don't trust them to be responsible for collecting and appropriating donations faithfully either way.
The PR is in it for them.
