Charity is great, but that doesn't mean it should be a constant dribble instead of purposeful choice.
And who is putting pressure on you?
An employee during check-out asking, if you are willing to donate one Euro for Unicef?
Wow, that is really a lot of pressure.
Maybe, the hotel should leave a note under the door preparing guests for the pressure cooker aka check out and the enormous level of stress they will face later on.
Actually, SPG should simply discontinue the program.
I am sure the pressure on guests is simply too high and actually much higher compared with a refugee from Syria and Jemen without food, water, medical help etc.
