I agree with your last line, but I wouldn't even be that mad about them taking credit if in the end, the money truly helped people and verifiably so. But when I see it, it's always "would you like to donate to needy families?" Making you the bad guy for saying no and denying all transparency here.

    You should not donate if you do not know what the cause is. I've never seen a collection at the till that doesn't state what charity it benefits. If it's a nonprofit charity, it will have things like financial reports that you can peruse. I recommend Charity Navigator to see how your donations are spent. I generally don't donate to any charity that does not report its executive spending.
