It bugs me when every time I get to the register the clerk is asking me if I want to make a donation to some cause. I believe in charity but I don't like being asked. I prefer to be anonymous.

That said, the other day I was asked by a clerk if I wanted to donate to their charity and I replied "I will if you will" and the clerk looked at me completely stumped. She didn't understand and said huh? I said get your wallet and I'll match whatever you donate. She then said they were not allowed to do that. I said "huh" and left.

Am I being rude? This caught me at a bad time and wasn't feeling it.
