Yeah Ryan, I kinda like WalMart...but I don't like what they are doing to the Salvation Army! Sam's Club too. But it's their parent company Target that's to blame and their "company policy". Well that may be one thing in the Lower 48, but up here standing outside for 6 hours can be serious!

Calm down, the server does updates and backups in the wee hours so posts can take a long time to refresh.

Well according to what I've been told, Target has this "company policy" not to allow the Salvation Army or any other fudn-rasing organizations to set up inside the store. No Boy Scouts, SA, anyone raising money.

They can stand outside and ring thier bell, but not inside. Well this is ALASKA...that is not always feasible here!

This "policy" affects Target, Sam's Club, and WalMart.

we're Calm. I haven't looked yet. Did any of you go and complain in user feedback. Eric: FTE is like that first cup of coffee to some of us. Without it we tend to get a bit antsy.

okay. I can make the connection there. But how about this at least they are allowed to be there. I don't see them at places like Walgreen's, CVS and my local malls. If I going to pick a fight over this issue I would start these other places first.IMO
