There are a few places that ask to round up for some charity.
The only place I round up is when I shop at the local charity thrift store where I know where the money goes.
Do they say the round up is going to a charity?
Yes
Don’t be casual with the pinpad - I donated 5 bucks last week because I hit the key next to the key I wanted by accident...
You’re right about zero accountability
They give it to some NGO/Charity where the CEO probably makes $750K per year and they all are woke.
No, I don’t. I have an investment account linked to my debit card so when I use it, it rounds up into my investment account. Charity begins at home. ;)
No.
My bank has that feature on my debit card. What it does is it puts the remainder in your savings account.
This sounds much different though. I’ve never seen that and I use the McDonalds app often for work breakfast.
A few years ago, I paid for something at a Dollar General store in Alamogordo, NM. The clerk asked me to round up. I asked what it was for. The clerk said, “To help kids to learn to read.” I said, “I thought that was what taxpayers pay teachers to do with their property taxes funding schools.”
At a guess, I would say the money goes to the Ronald McDonald House. One of the few corproate charities that actually does what they say it will do.
My guess would be that it is a donation to Ronald McDonald House. In the old days they had buckets including at the drive thru where you could drop your change. Now with everyone using cards, this is the way they do it.

Round Up is for weeds and brush.
Was some computer genius a few years back. Took advantage of bank computer calculations which would round its numbers to nearest penny...but the real number had a value slightly more, or less more than just up to the penny. He programmed the banks computer to send the very small excess amount to his personal account. IIRC he had accumulated millions of dollars before he was discovered.
Maybe mcDonalds takes our round up pennies and sends them to Antifa, or other organized fraud charities?
Selling crappy burgers is bad enough. Now they want charity?
Did you or a loved one spray or was sprayed with Roundup?
Bayer has already agreed to have to pay $11 billion

Roundup causes non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
No Office Space meme of Michael Bolton yet?
Presumably this would be for the Ronald McDonald houses that take in parents of children with extended stays in hospitals so they can stay near their children. In general I’m _extremely_ skeptical of corporate “charity” these days, but the Ronald McDonald houses are an absolute blessing for poor and middle-class parents dealing with financial stress at the same time they are coping with children with cancer or in an ICU after a terrible traffic accident, etc. I’ve had personal experience with the one in Indy on that basis and so I’d give this a rare 2-thumbs up.
For all the charity that I give on April 15th, I have yet to get a thank you...so why should I give even more?
If it’s the USO I always do. The USO was there for me when I needed them.
Only on my kolaches.
Never! I doubt their veracity. Additionally, I prefer to give to charities of my choosing. Usually the businesses that ask me to “round up” are woke.
