No.

 

[fly girl]

No. I am giving them the total amount my purchase came to, that's all.

just because they wanted you to give them money? Nope Some stores do ask you to round up for charity

 

[soccerdad72]

Not unless it’s some sort of charity thing

 

[citruscurtis]

Yes...no direction to where the 65 cents was going...if I have good customer service at Goodwill or the worker is friendly.. I will round up

 

[leebee]

Nope. I donate to the charities I support; I don't need to donate to something random that some store supports.

 

[Ning Ning]

No. If my bill is $12.99, I want my penny back!

Round up for what reason? Some places here have standard charitable foundations associated with their stores that they are perpetually collecting for through the process of rounding up. McDonalds is one of them; Ronald McDonald house is the beneficiary. Sometimes I round up, sometimes I don't. But are you suggesting the store is asking you to round up just for the sake of it, with them keeping the money? Nope - how about you round DOWN to $5, especially since that's what should be done with the number of $0.35.

 

[citruscurtis]

That is what I am suggesting ... I was shocked and asked the employee what????... it's not like I was going to have rare coins for change ..by the time I have understood the concept... the screen went to the next step to check out

The problem is that I am accustomed to giving my coins away at casino if you use a kiosk and don't want paper slip .... four local charities to choose from

 

[SteveH]

I never round up, even for charity, I prefer to choose where my donations go.

 

[tvguy]

No. I keep hearing talk of eliminating pennies and rounding up to and even 5 cents. If they do eliminate pennies, they better be rounding DOWN, not up.

Last week at my Goodwill the girl asked me if I'd like to round up.
She explained what it was for & I chose to donate.

This is from Goodwill's website:

"A few times throughout the year, we ask customers to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar at our Goodwill stores. The change or difference will be donated to our Goodwill campaign.

Your donation will directly provide employment programs and services to people with disabilities and other barriers to independence. We offer a wide variety of opportunities to help individuals build skills, find jobs and grow their careers. By saying “yes” to our Round Up campaign, you are providing someone with a hand-up rather than a hand-out."
