Donations ?
Hi okay so I work for a corporation and we have donations going on right now but I know this mulit million dollar company is only doing donations for a tax write off and they also have us employees guilt customers into donating
I really don’t understand why this multimillionaire dollar company just does donate it’s money if they really cared but that’s besides the point I know and get it’s a part of my job but I just feel so guilty and shameful pressuring and guilting customers into donating I really feel like I’m robbing and stealing from the customers 🥴 do any of you have any advice as to what I should do or what I can say to maybe not feel so guilty cause I know it’s apart of my job but I feel horrible

Petco? I resent being asked every time I buy something. My response is always - would you like to donate to my pet rescue? When we do donate, it is once a year, not bits and pieces here and their. If a customer resents it, just say, "Sorry, I have to ask - it's the job".

It would really help if you describe how this process with customers goes.
Many stores practice this today and I don't remember feeling any pressure into donating.
What's the difference?

If you are pressuring and guilting customers you ought to be fired because you're not supposed to be doing that.
"Would you like to make a donation for cancer research?"
"No thank you".
You see how that works? No pressure, no guilt.

Your customers are not donating to the mulitmillion dollar company.
They are donating to the foundation that was founded by the company.
Hot Topic and The Hot Topic Foundation are not the same thing.
The Hot Topic Foundation focuses on youth music programs and music in the schools initiatives.
Your employer does donate to their foundation. But having additional money is beneficial and provides more money for the foundation to do MORE things.
You aren't robbing, stealing, or making your customer feel guilty. They can donate or not donate.
