I went by many Target stores last holiday season only to find no SA bell ringers due to the company's policy to not have solicitors in front of their stores anymore. It DEFINITELY hurt their holiday sales in04 when it went public. Of course I drove by in my Vanagon(RVC).

Their CEO makes 23 million plus bennies each year and the entire company threw a whopping 2 mil at Katrina and another 200k at Wilma. What's their slogan? Expect More(work out of the hourly help) Pay(them) Less!! And still 5% of their after tax profits go to charity.........
