Was in a Winners outlet (TJMax for you stateside) yesterday and like many retailers was asked if I would like to donate $2 to some charity of the week. Do you know what happens to your donations? They do go to the charity and I would hope that every dollar goes where intended.....but the money goes into a company general coffer with a lump sum donation made and a corporate charitable donation claimed for tax purposes. They collect our donations and claim a bulk tax deduction for themselves from all of our collective donations.....it's fraud! And they get the press coverage of being outstanding corporate citizens in supporting local causes! And they are not the only retailer doing it!
