> I didn't even consider that the store could be corrupt, reimbursing themselves for their own donation. I would very much like to be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that’s what they’re all doing in some way. — Although, I really hope someone will prove me wrong in the comments. AFAIK if you donate to a non-profit through the pos terminals, it counts as a tax deductible donation that the organization with the terminal can claim, not you. For example if you donate $10 to the ASPCA through a Petsmart terminal, thats a tax deductible contribution for Petsmart from money out of your pocket.
