Just like my local grocery store.
They'll ask me to round up my purchase to help feed the hungry. Why can't they not invest in all the infrastructure and systems to support this, and just donate a few nickels and quarters themselves. Plus they have the food to give.
- devilbunny 9d agoBig, successful grocery stores operate on a 3% margin. It’s mostly a commodities business. Doing all that alone could entirely wipe their profit.
- zikduruqe 9d agoAnd my local grocery store sponsors Indycar racing and has a track they sponsor. They also throw away produce that looks bad, although it is perfectly edible. I am not going to cry because the CEO cannot afford a yacht payment next month.
- devilbunny 9d agoYes, they advertise. And they discard things that will not sell. That is what businesses do. Most of them try to sell it for a lower price first.
- wolvoleo 9d agoYeah but just don't do it at all then. If I want to sponsor a good cause I'll do so when I want to. I'm also annoyed with having to decline that shit. Besides, I live in Europe. If something is important enough the government should subsidize them, that's what they're there for. We don't do this capitalist small government stuff. PayPal and Stripe are doing it too now.
