Not sure if hypermarkets do the same thing in other countries, but I've seen it in the states and it pisses me off

Just so everyone is aware, when companies ask you to donate, they have ALREADY PAID for the donation and they are trying to get their money back by nickle and diming their customers. Don't fall for this.

Safeway does that shit. No, I don't want to end hunger. You're a grocery store, you end hunger, assholes.

Even if you can afford it it makes no sense. Impulse giving is not a solution to systemic food insecurity, homelessness, insufficient healthcare, etc. If there's a societal problem, there should be a societal solution. I don't turn to Walmart to meaningfully address these issues, nor do I trust them to.

Care-washing: the greenwashing-adjacent pretending to give a shit about anything other than sloppy blowjobs for your board, top executives, and large shareholders.
