Something To Think About
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, I discover that 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" Sincerely, Dick Forrey Veterans Helping Veterans Please send this on to everyone you know to let Target know we don't need them either!

As for ME...We'll buy the things we need, wherever we can get them the cheapest...I love America and all that, and most of my extended family (grandfathers, uncles, etcetera) have served in the military...But, my immediate family comes first... Incidentally...I have only shopped at Target a few times, even though there's one less than 5 minutes from here, because it is NOT open 24 hours, and we can find everything we need elsewhere (also less than 5 minutes from here AND open 24 hours)... Keep your chair Sweetie :)

I bought a chair from Tarzhay. It br0ke about a week later.
However, I was on a budget and bought THE cheapest chair they had, which was ten dollars. This may have something to do with the chair going kerplunk.

I always pictured Target as a slightly more upscale Walmart. You know, for people who wear shoes and don't sleep with close relatives.
No offence to those here who shop there, unless of course, you wear no shoes and sleep with your sister/brother.
