Because it just doesn't feel right to me. And I know that it's kinda churlish, but there's a part of me that doesn't want huge supermarket chains who keep posting record profits while paying the bare minimum they legally have to, to take the credit for me donating a few quid a month in rounding up my bill. Many of the charities wouldn't be needed as much if these companies actually paid adequate wages.

I might be wrong but don't they use these charities to get tax reductions?

I don't think they do, but I've seen them announce things like " company name teamed up with x charity and we managed $200,000 !"

Conveniently forgetting to mention that they donated little to nothing themselves.
