A Washington state-based grocery chain is under scrutiny for asking customers to donate to diversity, equity and inclusion “awareness” with some online critics lobbing criticism at the company.

A screenshot obtained by Fox News Digital shows a checkout kiosk at Haggen Grocery Store that asks shoppers whether they want to donate $1, $3, $5 or another amount to “help advocate for DEI Awareness” when they checkout.

Customers can also decline if they want, the screenshot shows.

Haggen is owned by mega-company Albertsons.

Behind the kiosk, an advertisement for the Haggen Foundation tells patrons that from June 14 through mid-August, they can donate at any register to “support organizations that make positive social changes to ensure all community members live a healthy and fully inclusive life.”

One of the charities that would benefit from customers’ generosity is the Northwest Justice Project (NJP) which works to challenge “structural and racial inequities to promote the long-term well-being of low-income individuals, families and communities across Washington State,” according to its website.
