It's now being asked everywhere, it seems. I was used to it in stores, but it happened the other day in a fast-food drive-thru! The round-up would have been 99 cents, so NO (I don't remember what the alleged charity benefitting from that was)... I was sick all night from the food I got there, but I'm sure it was just a coincidence!
I always say no. I have my own charities. Between so many stores and restaurants, go fund mes, people asking for birthday charities or nonprofits, I finally just went cold turkey and now contribute only to my own things. It’s become overwhelming,
Yep, everybody and their brother has their hand out now-a-days. I am not made of money. I am not a cheapskate or selfish or scrooge. I donate and tithe to charities and organizations I choose. So......I say "no, not today".

I say no as well. I like to direct my donations and keep track of them, even though we don't itemize anymore. Most of these are absolutely worthy charities, and I understand it's an easy way for them to increase donations from a large population of shoppers for really little cost. But it's not my preferred form of giving.
I say 'No. Thank you." The employees are usually told to ask. Usually, they don't care what your answer is unless there is some sort of recognition for the responses.
I rarely contribute to organized charity. There is usually so much overhead and the donation doesn't go to those in need. I prefer to help out where I personally see a need.
I always answer the same way, "If you are truly customer oriented then you should round down, otherwise no." I never say "no Thanks" because I'm not thankful they asked anyway and it certainly wasn't a courtesy.
Hmm, it doesn't happen everywhere. Can't recall ever having a vendor ask me this.
"No" is a complete sentence. "No thank you" is a nicer version of it. No further details necessary.
