No, Target, the fury has not abated -- the Salvation Army is as beloved in Washington state as it is elsewhere. The story linked above mentions a website I hadn't heard of: BanTarget.org. It's a proud companion to www.Don'tShopTarget.com.

The decision to evict the Salvation Army has been a crazy one for Target. Is there anyone who has some concrete evidence as to what motivated this incredibly misguided business move? I've heard two very credible theories, but have not yet been able to substantiate them at a level that would allow me to discuss them here.
