Another big company who practices discrimination, won’t be shopping at Fleet Farm this year.

Salvation Army is a religion that borders on a cult. They are “mainstream” because they have been around for a long time. Fleet Farm should have stood by their first decision and not allowed them to beg outside of their stores. Remember the floods Red River flood of late 1990′s? To get a sandwich from the Salvation Army you had to “accept Jesus” and listen to a sermon. I wonder if a gay person could have gotten a sandwich? The group has what I consider cult rules (who you can marry (even date), where you can live, what you can do on your personal time, etc.) They also discriminate based on sexual orientation.

Not their only faux pas this year. Building a new store in Carver; received tax dollars to do it, and then they bring in minimum wage labor from other parts of the country. Guess they don’t believe they need to support the families that would have shopped with them. Really stupid business decision: Saving a few bucks on construction to leave a lasting negative memory in the minds of their core customers (blue collar construction) that will last for decades. Who hired that decision maker??? I use to shop them. Not anymore.

It is discrimination! Its discrimination twoards bell ringers! Every American has the right to ring a bell where ever, and when ever they want to! The ACLU was getting ready to go after MMF! I love going there! Where else can you buy a horse whip and a bag og M&Ms…???

plenty of wal marts,k marts,malls,plenty of places to ring the holiday cheer so lets not be offended folks we’ll be able to shove a buck or two in the ”red kettles”where ever we go……c’mon it’s christmas……..

The Salvation Army helps a lot of families, with food pantries and their stores. I’m glad that they decided to allow the bell ringers, I can’t imagine why they would even consider not allowing them. But this really changes my mind about Fleet Farm now, shame on Fleet Farm for even considering to not allow this.

you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell

I love the “Mans Mall”. If you don’t want to donate, don’t. I have to watch those stupid commercials on tv that cost millions to produce to beg for more money for the needy, and I can walk past a bell ringer if I’m not in the mood to contribute. But I would have to say I’d rather donate to the needy than have it taken from my paycheck and distributed to the lazy through wellfare.
