i decide which charity I give to.Your problem is you don’t want Tesco to engage with you on this matter so really your best option is not to shop there anymore for the month of September.Also you could DECIDE never to shop there again because they did such a shocking thing.
I do not have a problem.
My financial and charity decisions are my concern and my concern only. I do not need a corporate body to enforce their token charity onto me.
No one is enforcing anything on you and if you feel so strongly about it then do not shop at Tesco. This is no different than years gone past when you would get people at the end of the checkout asking if they can pack your bags for you and you can throw money in a bucket for the charity or not.I have no problem saying no to charities in supermarkets and have no problem what Tesco are currently doing with charity donations. Society currently has not deemed this illegal. So people who feels guilty or an a**e for making their own decisions in life needs to go away and try and come to terms with who they are as a person and figure out why they feel like that.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I hardly ever go in Tesco but did yesterday for a newspaper and used the self service till, and it did at least ask me whether or not I wanted to round up.0

Personally i would have asked for the charge to be refunded because it's your money to spend on what you wish and you shouldn't be guilt tripped into donating to a charity.1 -

I honestly cannot understand why you are perfectly happy for a company to take money from you when you don't owe it to them.0

1. The cashier is suppose to ask the customer if they wish to donate to the charities and explain the process.2. It is not company policy to automatically opt the customer into it.
3. Tesco is made up of people and some will make mistakes.
4. If a customer has been opted in automatically they can either complain to the store manager or if they feel it’s theft they can go to the police if they want. They can also not shop at Tesco anymore.It is really not that complicated and on the list of challenges we face in society this is not one of them.1
