Pot Kettle Black
Target will ban bell ringers
Thanks, Target, for removing a source of rage from my holiday shopping experience. By banning the Salvation Army's bell ringers from the sidewalks in front of your stores, you save me the mental work of forcing my mouth shut as I pass, when what I'd like to say is, "I'll support your charity when you stop discriminating in your hiring practices while using federal funds." You've given me yet another reason to prefer your store to Wal-Mart--as if the fact that you're from Minnesota and they're from Arkansas didn't already seal the deal.
