Declining the checkout donation
The cashier is running your items. The screen prompts: 'Would you like to round up for children's literacy?' You don't want to. But the cashier is waiting — and you can feel the guilt start.

J
Jess — Grocery cashier, 22
On autopilot, kind by default
“Hi! Did you find everything okay? ... And would you like to round up your total to support childhood literacy today?”
What you are trying to do
Your objective
Say 'no thanks' in under 3 words. No reasons. No apology. Practice saying it shorter each round.
What good looks like
You declined without giving a reason. The transaction continued normally.
Difficulty
Friendly and willing — but will not read your mind.
