In fairness to cashiers, they’re not the ones spearheading these campaigns. They’re in the same boat as you except that their job security is contingent upon them presenting a donation option.
Yes, I fully understand that … the ones that bug me are the young new workers who haven’t learned the realities of these dumb marketing tricks and instead look at you like a cheap angry old man for not wanting to donate. It usually takes them about a week or two before the reality sets in that most people don’t like these marketing ploys … then it takes another two weeks for them to figure out why … then they finally become the sullen cashier that mechanically goes through the motions of asking and then not really caring what your response is.
The wording in your first comment suggests that you think they’re “idiots” and you interrupt them for asking for the donation that they’re obligated to ask for
