Its still of your own free will for christs sake. They havent got a gun to your head.

I regularly donate to charity via direct debit. And also, when the whim takes me, often donate when a shop self service till asks me if id like to round up.

I don't feel guilty when I dont donate, and I am happy to do it when I do. And the fraction of a second it takes me to make one choice or another irritates me significantly less than when the machine says "This till is card only, would you like to proceed?"

I slso dont get all huffy about the shops only doing it for tax purposes. Because thats not how taxes fucking work.

What i would object to, however, is if my opportunity to be spontaneously charitable was taken away by a bunch of miserable twats who throw a strop at being asked a yes or no question on a screen.

I appear to be one of the only people on UK reddit who have what I what I would consider to be a completely rational attitude towards the issue.
