all right it is mojo in the morning show megan what is it that drives you nuts is this gonna

00:01:34 - 00:01:39 | Speaker 3:

be a megan minute let's do a megan minute all right let's do a megan minute everybody

00:01:39 - 00:01:49 | Speaker 7:

are you ready yeah i'm ready 60 seconds on the clock megan can say anything she wants she's got

00:01:49 - 00:02:39 | Speaker 2:

free airwaves it's a megan minute okay i am so sick of these companies that at the checkout as you're going through everything and you're paying at the very end they're like would you like to round up or donate to this cause number one i've been on the board for a lot of local organizations and every time we reach out to these companies to help us they never help local charities so that's my biggest gripe with this right it's like you'll do it but you won't do it for the people in your own community you only do it for the national ones and number two you're only asking me near christmas time to round up because then i feel obligated to do good for others so that you don't have to pay your taxes this is not about doing good this is about you taking my money so that you as a corporation do not have to pay taxes and then you make me look bad not only in front of the customers in line behind me but also the cash register person and it makes me feel so

00:02:39 - 00:02:46 | Speaker 7:

uncomfortable that's a megan minute everybody there you go i do feel like it puts you in a

00:02:46 - 00:02:50 | Speaker 2:

bad position where like if you say yes you're helping this corporation not pay taxes but if

00:02:50 - 00:03:07 | Speaker 1:

you say no you're not helping charity and there's no right answer i'll be honest with you i've been saying no oh like way more than i've been saying yes because of this because we've talked about this the only place i will say yes and you should too and i really mean this is the imagine theater because it goes to breaking and entering christmas and really it does 100 of it but i feel differently

00:03:07 - 00:03:13 | Speaker 2:

about it going to local organizations right right there is a huge difference there right here's a

00:03:13 - 00:03:39 | Speaker 7:

question i don't mind it at the holidays i don't like it during the year i don't like it after that Not that we just only give during the holidays, but I agree that when you're doing it during the year, like everybody has it. And I hate, first off, the worst is Chipotle. Chipotle does this all the time. Chipotle does it on the app. You ever order on the app? I say no to everything. Do you? Terms and agreements on your Apple?

00:03:40 - 00:03:40 | Unknown:

Really?

00:03:40 - 00:03:41 | Speaker 7:

You say no to that? No, I'm sure.

00:03:41 - 00:03:50 | Speaker 6:

I mean, anytime they ask me to round up, I hit no. And I have no qualms about it. You don't even look at the charity. It's the easiest decision in my day. You don't feel judged? Hell no, judge me all you want

00:03:50 - 00:03:54 | Speaker 1:

It took me a second to get there I no longer feel judged

00:03:54 - 00:03:58 | Speaker 7:

What about walking in and out of stores And having somebody selling stuff to you

00:03:58 - 00:04:02 | Speaker 6:

I don't care about them kids and they M&M's I say I'm sorry bro, I don't got it

00:04:02 - 00:04:17 | Speaker 7:

Well, I cannot stop giving to the Salvation Army people, but I gotta be honest I don't have dollars in single That's the thing, I don't have cash, I'm sorry And now they get you with the credit card thing Which I get, okay But if I make one donation, can I wear a sticker Like I voted sticker

00:04:17 - 00:04:33 | Speaker 1:

so that i gave i just say i say merry christmas or happy holidays but say like i never have cash i think i have a two dollar bill in my wallet right now and that's from the tooth fairy when i was like seven years old and for some weird reason i still carry it around i wish i gave you

00:04:33 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 7:

i wish they gave you a badge because no matter what i know what happens if somebody that's ringing the bell is there and they go oh isn't that the guy from the radio that guy's cheap and he doesn't do it so i always feel like i have to give something otherwise they're gonna look at me and honestly i'd like to have like my secret pass like where i said hey i gave it bushes or something you know um so you're not doing it out the goodness of your heart no i'm giving because

00:05:00 - 00:05:03 | Speaker 4:

of, I don't want people to shame me. I don't know.

00:05:04 - 00:05:18 | Speaker 2:

By the way, we've all worked in retail in here, right? Did you ever judge people when they didn't round up or give a donation? Let's ask. I didn't. Yes, because I didn't know that it was for the company's tax write-off. So I would be like, why don't you care about other people?

00:05:18 - 00:05:23 | Speaker 4:

844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548 is our telephone number. What's up, Barb? Hi.

00:05:36 - 00:05:56 | Speaker 9:

Yeah. So, like, any of the Macomb County stores that collect to the Roundup, that goes to the Macomb County youth underprivileged kids. Okay. I'm glad you told us. Same thing with Oakland County stores. They only donate to the youth sports for the underprivileged in Macomb County.

00:05:56 - 00:06:00 | Speaker 4:

Yeah. That's nice to know. Thank you for telling us, Barb. What's up, Allison? Hi.

00:06:01 - 00:06:30 | Speaker 10:

Good morning. So, Megan, you got me hyped on this, okay? Because it drives me nuts every single time I go into a store. I work for education. And every time I go to Taco Bell, they ask me if I want to round up. And I always say, I'll round up if you give it to me so I can give it to my classroom. Like, we never see it. We never see it. I work in special education, and it's only December, and we've already run out of our funds.

00:06:31 - 00:06:35 | Speaker 4:

Oh, Jesus. Wow. Oh, man. Where are you at? What schools are you with?

00:06:36 - 00:06:41 | Speaker 10:

I cannot say, but I'm in the Rochester School District. Oh, we've got to try to see what we can do to help you.

00:06:41 - 00:06:46 | Speaker 4:

Let us know what we can do to help you and try to see if we can come through or something. What's up, Stacey? Hi.

00:06:47 - 00:07:06 | Speaker 8:

Hi. I've seen this on Instagram and heard that the companies actually donate to the charity one time a year. And then they're asking you if you want to donate to replenish their money that they've donated. That's kind of what Megan was saying. Yes.

00:07:06 - 00:07:06 | Speaker 1:

Yeah.

00:07:06 - 00:07:10 | Speaker 8:

Yeah. I don't know the valability to that, but.

00:07:11 - 00:07:14 | Speaker 3:

What's that? The valability? What did you say? Validity?

00:07:15 - 00:07:17 | Speaker 2:

I like valability stuff.

00:07:17 - 00:07:20 | Speaker 3:

Valability. Sounds like a flower. Validility.

00:07:20 - 00:07:22 | Speaker 2:

00:07:27 - 00:07:27 | Speaker 4:

00:07:29 - 00:07:35 | Speaker 6:

Well, I wanted to let you know that the roundup for Ronald McDonald Houses 100% stays local.

00:07:36 - 00:07:38 | Speaker 4:

To our local house?

00:07:38 - 00:07:38 | Speaker 6:

It is?

00:07:39 - 00:07:39 | Speaker 4:

Yeah.

00:07:39 - 00:07:49 | Speaker 6:

The Ronald McDonald Houses, there's four in Michigan. and probably close to $800 to $8 million a year goes back to those Ronald McDonald's.

00:07:49 - 00:07:50 | Speaker 9:

And they're incredible.

00:07:51 - 00:08:03 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, they do great things. We've had a number of people that we know that their families have had to have their kids in Children's Hospital and then stay at Ronald McDonald's. What's going on, Evelyn?

00:08:04 - 00:08:06 | Speaker 7:

What's up, Megan? I think every Monday you should have a Megan Minute Monday. okay because tell them it is around this time they always want you to roll up something or donate something only person i can say no to is kids interesting mm-hmm uh uh so it's been in my

00:08:23 - 00:08:36 | Speaker 2:

days and i think i think if i if we took away the the tax benefit for these corporations right because it's a write-off for them if we took that away i would round up all the time all the time

00:08:37 - 00:08:40 | Speaker 7:

Yes, all the time, but around this year, like, they pour shit on you.

00:08:40 - 00:08:40 | Speaker 2:

Yeah.

00:08:41 - 00:08:44 | Speaker 7:

00:08:51 - 00:09:16 | Speaker 5:

How's it going? Good. What's going on, Billy? You know, as a truck driver, you know, there's a lot of these truck stops, and they always ask me to round up. And it's some corporation that has been in there for the longest time. And I always say no because it's just ridiculous. It's not just one time a year. It's all the time now.

00:09:17 - 00:09:28 | Speaker 4:

Man. So the truck stops do it. Do they ever donate to the lot lizards that are out there? We don't call them that.
