Lifestyle International Pvt. Ltd
Charity collection without customer's consent

I purchased some items of clothing yesterday at the Lifestyle store at the Express Avenue mall. The total was 698 Rs. I was a little surprised when the billing clerk charged me Rs. 699. I looked at the bill and saw that there was a Re.1 charge towards Lifetrust fund. When I questioned the clerk about that she said that it was for helping poor kids. I was quite shocked that I was not asked first before I was charged and felt if the company really wanted to do something for under privileged kids it should be contributing from its profits and not taking money from the customers even without asking for their consent first. I am not against helping poor kids and it is definitely not about 1 Re but I do not approve of somebody taking money from me without asking me first. There should be some check on these unauthorized and forcible charity collections.
