      I used to work for a retail chain many years ago and I do not think this is true for everywhere.

      When we were asking for donations it was tracked and if our location didn’t get enough donations our store manager would get talked to by his district manager. I don’t know exactly what happened to the money once it was donated, but I don’t think they would have been so adamant about getting the donations if they didn’t make anything from it.

      This was like 20 years ago though, maybe its different now.

      does not get any benefit

      I’d say free PR is still a benefit. A bullshitter’s benefit
