I occasionaly do, although sometimes do so out of a sense of social pressure. Then again, I wonder if the companies are capitalizing on all that rounding up for charities in the way of tax deductions? They get the credit and we don't....hmmmm.
I always say no I will give to my own charities. I refuse to give money so the company can take a credit for charity that they didn’t pay a cent for.
I always answer the same way, "If you are truly customer oriented then you should round down, otherwise no." I never say "no Thanks" because I'm not thankful they asked anyway and it certainly wasn't a courtesy.
There's no reason to be snarky to the low-wage line employees who are merely doing what their employer tells them to ask.

"No" is a complete sentence. "No thank you" is a nicer version of it. No further details necessary.
Exactly.
You can be civil to the line employee, polite even, while still saying no to the request.
I agree it doesn't hurt to say "No, thank you." That's just a polite response to a question. And if you said just, "No..." and let it dangle, people might be looking at you, waiting for you to elaborate on your answer.

"Yes" or "No" without any elaboration are peferctly fine responses. No one has to elaborate.
