Salvation Army volunteers ringing Christmas bells at shopping centers soon may join other seasonal traditions slain by political correctness.
Target stores in some parts of America have banned SA solicitations on store properties to “standardize” a no-solicitation policy.
Seems Target has been besieged with requests from other non-profit groups for similar solicitation rights.
Target’s solution: no exceptions.
Who’s next on the banned list if Target’s Grinchness is adopted by other shopping sites nationwide?
So long, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Brownies and other seasonal fundraisers.
Meanwhile, vagrants, bums and other freeloaders are free to accost shoppers for spare change on private and public venues. (10 OCTOBER 2004)
