There is a big metal cage at the entrance of our store, where customers can “donate” stuff like dog food cans and blankets to a nearby animal shelter. You’re only allowed to put stuff in there that you JUST bought inside of the store (allegedly for “safety reasons” so that noone can put poisoned food in there or whatever) and the store then treats the contents of that cage as donations FROM the store even tho the items have been paid in full by customers already.
Shady AF but if you try to argue against it, people automatically assume that you’re a mean A-hole that wants shelter dogs to starve. No idea whether this is even legal TBH.
If you want to donate something, always donate cash or items DIRECTLY to a shelter.
