#2 and 3 don't actually happen since it can't be recorded on the P&L.
The donation would get recorded to cash and offset to a liability account, probably something named Charitable Donations Payable likely with a subaccount for the specific programs.

The individual who donated at the register also is allowed to claim the donation when they file their taxes.
