Tesco shoppers will notice a change at the self-checkouts from Monday (September 12) as they will be asked a new question when paying for their shopping. They will be asked if they want to round-up their bill to the nearest pound with the extra money going to charity.
People visiting McDonald's self-service tills are already asked if they want to round-up their bill to the nearest pound. The change at Tesco will run for three weeks, until Sunday, October 2, LeicestershireLive reports.
The Tesco campaign will benefit Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK. The initiative also aims to increase awareness about the importance of making sustainable lifestyle changes that can help people to lower the impact of cancer, heart and circulatory diseases, and diabetes.
