I've not seen it personally but there was a big chat about it on my town local FB page a few weeks ago as the lady was concerned there was no mention of what charity and she thought the petrol station was somehow on the fiddle.

Yeah that is a bit dodgy, I always thought that any charity collections had to be named with the charity number etc.

This happened in my local sainsburys. The cashier asked if I wanted to round up my bill for charity. I just said no as she didn't have any info on which charity.

I think trying to embarrass people into donating is underhand.

You would think that somewhere they'd be a small poster saying which charity although it actually may be linked to your bank request who knows.
