B&N should let you see the offerings before you decide to donate. Then if you didn't like the options you could choose to donate your money elsewhere.

Typically this is how is works, the BN selected books are in a small box in front of each open register, there's also maybe a larger box at the front of the store with more information (because there's not gonna be a cashier standing by it to explain). At the register the cashier asks, shows books, customer accepts and picks a book which is then scanned checkout proceeds as normal, or customer declines and checkout proceeds as normal.
IDK what happened in OPs case, since it would seem the cashier scanned a random barcode which is going to come back to bite the store come inventory time in a couple of months. Though the cashier probably doesn't care they're likely a holiday temp anyway.
