I thought I might finally escape this dumb myth when I left reddit, but no...
Please, anyone reading this, including you @DrMartinu@lemmy.dbzer0.com , do five seconds of actual research into this myth before you ever perpetuate it again.
This. Is. Not. How. Taxes. Work.
When you make a donation at a store, that is your donation. You can claim that donation on your taxes.
Most people are not itemizing their deduction anyway.
Dang and i thought I'd get away from the corporate simping when I left reddit.
Does Ronald paint his dick white too?
I just tried to do my own research and instead all I found were corporate press releases about it and a FLOOD of people complaining that they were rounded up without permission. Like, thats all that comes up when you start looking for recepits that include the donation. Yikes, guess I'm going to have to demand my receipt every time and double check they're not just STEALING from me instead. Maybe 16 year old fast food workers just shouldn't have a 'randomly charge me extra' button at all.
Thanks, redditor, but I'm definitely going to repeat the lie later. And you're going to keep getting white paint all over your face.
They need to get the fuck away from the cash register with their corporate beggaring. The gall of some billion dollar company to flash sick kids up on screen every time you open your wallet is insane. Do you think the billionaires in their yachts that were paid for by big macs are looking at sick kids when they're served hors d'oeuvres?
And here you are, another fucking Poor, rambling on about tHaT not HoW tAXeS wOrK. I bet Ronald smacks you while you're down there.
This is a wild crash out when you could instead just not get food from McD.
This is extra funny because I haven't given McDonald's a cent in years.
