Horribly disappointed.
The retail chain Target has decided not to continue their tradition of allowing the Salvation Army Bell-ringers to collect donations outside their store, citing "increasing number of solicitation inquiries from nonprofit organizations and groups each year and determined that if we continue to allow the Salvation Army to solicit, then it opens the door to any other groups that wish to solicit our guests".
In other words, they are horribly afraid their customers might be guilted into giving up their spare change.
Oh, gee, what a shame that would be.
People might actually think of others.
Oh no.
At Christmas time, no less.
