Every few months our store does a new fundraiser, and we have to ask customers at the end of each transaction to donate to whatever charity we’re doing at that time. I hate doing it, because I feel like our multimillion dollar retail company should just donate the money itself anyway, but that’s beside the point. Tonight our store manager told us that tomorrow we’re starting a new one for ‘Autism Speaks.’
I know ‘Autism Speaks’ is a shitty organization that isn’t actually using the money they collect to help people with autism. They aren’t even classified as a charity and they have a horrible history of where there funding goes. What should I do instead when my bosses tell me to ask customers to donate to the “charity?”
