How much of the money really goes to charity? We have trust issues with you
You want us to sale charity tickets, and presell, assigning each person to make the goal of thousands for you, and we get rewarded with some giftcards?
Seriously, the associates deserve some bonuses and vacations.

Bahahaha! Really ? Bonus and vacations! I worked there many years and we got nothing for making presell goals except keeping our job .
We had a long-time manager who looked like Mr. Potato Head Classic Edition. His lack of people skills combined with harrassing the female staff meant he had to, kinda, "retire", like real quick-like. Within a week, actually.
It happened so fast, he failed to clean his desk out properly. Behind one of the side drawers was an envelope that contained a few, well, several few thousand dollars cash collected from charity sales. We always wondered why the charity sales brought in such low amounts-- turns out he was keeping quite a bit for himself. Living in the Country Club musta got sorta expensive, I guess?
Well, that don't beat his follow-up manager: Cream Puff! This guy only lasted about a year and a half, and he outright took a shine to the "cash room" and bookkeeping. He fired the long-time book keeper (37 or 39 years, I forget) and got his own shill/chef to cook the books. She was a real piece of work, with 18 different personalities, would sit and tell jokes to herself in different voices and, it must be said that, in order to secure the job, she scared the living digested matter out of him by threatening to blow up the store, his car, house and everything he held dear if she didn't get that job to get her out of the Kids' dept. What a treat! All those people wrapped up in one. Imagine all those personalities turning up at your local church's bring-n-buy!
Cream Puff took several expensive cruises his first year, one on the all-important 4th of July holiday, before which he explained (as I eavesdropped as usual!) to the assistant manager that it was an important, all-hands-on-deck weekend sale event, so no one was allowed to have a day off for ANY reason-- except he was taking the family on (the first of 8 that year) a cruise to the Bahamas and it was already planned and he couldn't just back out because the kids would be sooooooo disappointed.
So, did the company pay for that and the 7 other cruises? Was it a perk, as they say? He did come back a week later 30 pounds heavier-- his button-up shirts were, like, Violet from Wi--y Wonka, ready to pop! Musta been some good aspic or something served on that Carnovore Cruiser?!! Sheesh!
Well, putting 2 and 2 together, our store "LOST" $16,000 USD under his watch, and under LP's watch, as well. They tried their derndest to get to the bottom of it, but the paper trail got so convoluted after the computers were conveniently trashed and replaced with a cheap money weigher/calculator with 2-inch paper, register style tape for record keeping and number crunching. The "books", or rolls, were still in disarray as Cream Puff sailed off to greener and wetter pastures in Florida, scott free, to run a smaller store-- the obvious reward for financially ruining a once profitable outfit.
Ah, happy endings!
Lobsters and CEOs are just greedy. They never give anything to charity. They’re just “shellfish”
They can get a 60% deduction from the income.
Belk, like Walmart uses other peoples money to claim a tax break.
A large retail corporation made $3 million on the Charity Sale this month. The CEO decided to donate a "quarter of its profit" to local Charity. Now the large corporation has net income balance of $2,999,999.75 ???
