Lawsuit: Chipotle Keeps Change, Without Customers' Consent

Dailypoliticalnewswire.com ^ | August 21, 2020 | Keely Sharp

Several national stores now do 'Rounding Up for Charities'. They ask you to round up to the next whole dollar amount on credit cards and even cash transactions.

If you are in line in front of a line of customers, you don't want to look like a cheapskate or a Scrooge, so you acquiesce and let them do it.

It's pure EXTORTION and should be against the law.....................

Ya I tell them they can virtue signal on their own dime...

[cuban leaf]

If you are not going to give change, you have no choice but to round down.

[PIF]

Or just do not eat there - let them keep that change

[xkaydet65]

Possible solution...do what IRS does. < $.50 round it down...>$.50 round it up. If it comes $.50 exact...give 2 quarters change.

[LibWhacker]

Well, they can’t give away the food poisoning for free.

In my thousands of years with Domino's, I've had to give exact change twice.

Most people don't worry about it, or say keep the change.

These days everything is prepaid on cards, but back when there were more cash orders, I can see this being an issue, just not a big enough one to warrant a lawsuit.

The price of botulism isn’t cheap these days.

[real saxophonist]

Oh, PS - Domino’s does a roundup for St. Jude. A LOT of people do that.

[sevlex]

Another reason to go to QDoba.

Chicken Express tries this **** all the time, they once shorted a friend of mine $5

[moovova]

I’ve been asked that, but in the past, I’ve always said “All of our contributions go thru our church.”.

Now, I just say “No.”.

I must be made out of sterner stuff because I always say “No...thank you”

[\/\/ayne]

Wendy’s stole my change - claimed they didn’t have any.

[Red Badger]

Goodwill does it, Dairy Queen does it, Seven Eleven does it, several others as well. If you visit all these places in one day it adds up pretty quickly..............

[Red Badger]

Was in Lowes last evening and they had signs at the registers “NO CASH ACCEPTED DUE TO NATIONAL COIN SHORTAGE”...............

[Red Badger]

I ate at a Chipotle once, several years ago.

Never again..................

[mewzilla]

Or you customers grow a pair and say no.

Just a thought. :-)

[Red Badger]

How can you say ‘no’ when the cashier looks at you with a big fake smile on her face and says “Would you like to round up for Children with leukemia?”...............

[Eagles6]

Just say no.
