Have you ever felt a twinge of guilt or pride or suspicion when asked to donate a dollar at the checkout counter? You’re not alone.

In this candid conversation, we’ll dive into the real emotions, questions, and choices shoppers face when confronted with checkout charity requests. We’ll unpack the convenience and collective impact of small donations (did you know Americans gave over $749 million at checkout counters in just one year??) while also examining the pressures, uncertainties, and desire for more intentional giving that many of us feel.

Whether you say “yes” or “no” at the register, this episode will help you reflect on your own values and boundaries around generosity.
