I haven't run into this but if I do all the work who and why am I tipping?

it is - at least in theory - going to some charity.

It was only like $0.19 or something.

It likely goes to CVS's tax deductions.

Not that I ever did it to begin with, but it took me far too long to catch on their game.

$175k per day for them to donate and reduce their tax burden. That is $64M per year. Am I doing that math right? Holy carp, I always decline to round up for charity, just pay the taxes like you should Mega Corp.

MauldinT, where are you???


No way. There is no way they can take a contribution for money you give them.

If they did, they would have to take your money as income, so it at best is a wash.

I have made this point numerous times and will be glad to provide the accounting debits and credits if you so desire.

it's a generic thing on all check out systems apparently.

For a month or 2 after they go a new system at the ACE Hardware here it would pop up and the girl would say "Sorry about that it's a programming thing, Please just click No"

They got it fixed after a while but somebody from Charlotte had to come reprogram it.


Yeah, I spend too much time hanging out in ACE chatting up the cashier.

It is hard to spend too much time at ACE. I need to find out who is the boss at
