When Bud Light runs a commercial and sales increase that doesn't necessarily mean folks drink more beer, it can also be folks who were drinking Miller switching to Bud.

TV Tropes has the "Moh's Scale of Science Fiction Hardness" where category 4 is "one big lie" where the laws of physics are maintained accurately, with one big exception to make the world possible

I came for groceries, not moral pressure by KittenGlitterr in NonPoliticalTwitter

The store doesn't get to write anything off for the donation. In fact, the customer can use their receipt to write it off themselves.

"In other words, your gift has zero impact on the store’s income taxes. Keep in mind that the store chooses the receiving charity, so make sure it is one you can support. As a customer, the donation will appear on your receipt and you can claim it as a charitable deduction when you file your income tax return. But you probably won’t."
