From the store's perspective, money donated through the point of sale and given to charity is neither income nor a deduction. It's just the collection of money that doesn't count as anything to the store's finances.

In the same way, if I pay rent for my entire unit and collect the portions owed from my roommates, the money my roommates pay me don't count as my income. I was just passing it along, and it was never mine to begin with.
