I see this every day. At my work (natural foods store), we give the customer the option to donate their bring-your-own-bag rebate to charity (we offer 3 charity choices). We're not asking them to give anything themselves, but rather to forgo the 10 cent discount and let us give it to a charity.
People spending hundreds of dollars on deli food and herbal supplements and $30 shampoo almost NEVER donate, while the kid counting out nickels to buy a few pieces of fruit and some bread almost ALWAYS does.
I have lost count of the number of times I've had people say "I'M THE CHARITY" while peeling their $100 bills off a bundle.

It makes me mad.
Maybe that's just me.
