Target store’s policy

[oncedrove]

Wasn’t it last Christmas that Target refused to let the Salvation Army ring their bells in front of their stores?






Dick Forrey of the Vietnam Veterans Association wrote.

'Recently we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud
sponsor of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall during our
spring recognition event.

We received the following reply
from the local TARGET management:
'Veterans do not meet our
area of giving. We only donate to the arts, social action
groups,gay & lesbian causes, and education.'

So I'm thinking, if the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and
veterans in general, do not meet their donation criteria,
then something is really wrong at this TARGET store. We were
not asking for thousands of dollars, not even hundreds, just
a small sponsorship for a memorial remembrance..

As a follow-up, I E-mailed the TARGET U.S. Corporate
Headquarters and their response was the
same.
That's their
national policy

Then I looked into the company further..
They will not allow
the Marines to collect for 'Toys for Tots' at any of their
stores.. And during the recent Iraq deployment, they would
not allow families of employees who were called up for
active duty to continue their
insurance coverage while
they were on military service. Then as I dig further,

TARGET
is a French-owned corporation.

Now, I'm thinking again. If TARGET cannot support American
Veterans, then why should my family and I support their
stores by spending our hard earned American dollars!
And,
have their profits sent to France .

Without the American
Vets, where would

France be today?

'They, most likely would be speaking German and trading in Deutsch Marks'

we don't need them either

For many in this country, they don't get the point that there are somethings in life worth just driving by them and never stopping.

While most can't help but shop at their favorite store, those are brainwashed that a box store like Target has better bargains or better customer service than a competitor. While others still want to shop for items they really don't need or should have.

Target is up there on my list with Kmart and other stores with poor customer service and poor attitudes.

The above is a well-known e-mail hoax.

BTW, Target is an American owned, publicly traded company.

Target actually has a rather well-known philanthropic relationship with the Salvation Army and the United Way (Salvation Army is a member of the United Way). The "Target/Salvation Army Wish List" and the "Target/Salvation Army Angel Giving Tree" are but two of the major programs it sponsors for the Salvation Army.
