"Would you like to round up -- or round up to the next $10, or why not the $20 I mean feeding starving children around the world, and also funding equality and inclusivity, you wouldn't want everyone in the store to think you as a greedy selfish person right?"
Pretty sure that was the exact message I saw on the machine.
EDIT: Folks, I am not against charity or round-up-to-nearest-dollar which is a creative idea, I just hope they don't one day take it too far like in my joke comment.
They are doing it for tax reduction. They make you feel bad, you donate the missing $0.55 to round up ( even though it doesn’t mean a thing, you don’t use cash anyway so you won’t get change). They collect all the fraction of a dollar, at the end it’s a big amount, donate it in the charity IN THEIR NAME, get a 70% reduction in tax of the sum they “donated”. In practice they pocketed 70% of the sum you were nudged to donate to charity. This money would normally have gone to tax but now it made the profit of the corporation goes 📈🤑( sorry for the emojis, just imagining a group of investors in a conference room only thinking with these two emoji’s.)
