I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to call out people in this situation:

Cashier: “Would you like to donate a dollar to support breast cancer?”

Me: That’s interesting. Do you work for a supervillain or something?

Cashier: (confused)

Me: Well, most people ask others to donate to support cancer research, or awareness, or the victims. Here you are asking me to support the actual disease. “WOOO YEAH, CANCER! Kick that patient’s ass!”


(At this point the cashier either rolls his/her eyes, or gets embarrassed and giggles. Usually the former.)
