    Edit: Misinformed.

    Ohhh. I thought it was just an image/PR thing, but that makes so much more sense, because there is direct financial benefit. Thanks for educating!

    Still, at least the charities also benefit from it. Probably does feel easier for most people to spare a few cents while shopping, potentially avoiding small change, instead of having to actively donate a few dollars.









  • “Thanks, how are/about you?”

    So, not responding and directing the attention to the person who asked. Especially useful, if the person asking isn’t even (genuinely) interested, but just asking as a form of greeting. The ones who care might either understand you don’t want to talk about it or will inquire once more.

    Hmm… Now that I think about it, that is awfully close to some US American’s way of replying with the exact same question, omitting any kind of reply, concluding the greeting.
