The boxes are donation boxes for a poppy pin for your lapel to show your respect for veterans. I will never go into any Target store again or any other store that supports such behavior. Done.

I know they bought out our local Zellers Store and then closed it but never opened a Target location. Thought this was nation wide but I guess not. And after your story I hope the never do. Shame on them. ALL Veterans from all countries I believe deserve respect for putting there lives on the line to fight for the cause/belief & most importantly, our freedom and our childrens future.!! No offence to our southern Neighbors but i truly wish American companies weren't allowed to open doors in this country. Especially big box stores that force the small mom and pop stores to close. homo DEPOT, really LOWES & off TARGET, Walmart, Just to name a few. Ive seen some many people lose everything they've worked for for generations all vanish because of these stores. Edited October 29, 2013 by KingStinger! Damage_inc- 1 Awards

Target never refused to allow Canadian vets to sell the poppy pins. They only asked that they sell them outside the front doors of the store, and when there was bad weather they were welcome to come inside. Of course since the outrage of Canadians has created bad press for them, they have since changed their ruling and will now allow the pins to be entirely sold inside. Target doesn't allow sales by charitable organizations "inside" their stores in the US either. There are no stories or records of other American based big box stores refusing to allow the poppy pins to be sold "this year". There is some kind of dust-up regarding these pins every single year in Canada. A few years ago McDonalds wouldn't allow their employees to wear the pins, and just last year Quebec Premier Pauline Marois pissed off vets by decorating her poppy with a fleur-de-lis, which vets took as a slap to the face. By the way, Target is based out of Minnesota and most Americans consider them to be more Canadian than American.

Vets don't sell the poppies, most stores have a donation box by the cash registers that people put coins in and take a plastic poppy pin to put on their lapel. But target BS'd the ritual into saying they couldn't have someone man/she-man the boxes. In most stores the box sits at the costomer service desk and usually no-one mans it. Coin box on one end of the tray and poppy pins at the other, free to help yourself after a donation. I don't bash American outlets, as I said there were two dollar stores involved too. They STILL can all lick my soles after I go for a long walk in the Doggy Park. Done. Edited October 30, 2013 by Logan JohnnyDos and JohnnyQuest 2 Awards

I can't find any mention anywhere on the web where Target did not allow the "poppy boxes" at registers in their stores. The entire controversy surrounded the vets selling poppy pins to the public outside the main entrance of Target stores, and they later changed to allow vets to sell inside. I've been in a lot of Target stores and I've never seen a charity box at the register. It's just something they don't allow, and from what I "haven't" been able to find on the web it doesn't appear it was a problem between Target and the vets. I did see where Dollar Tree (a US based company I could care less about) and Dollarama (a Canadian based company I could care less about) both would not allow the poppy boxes, and both have changed their rules after a public outcry. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/poppies-welcome-kamloops-b-c-dollarama-store-clarifies-1.2252964 Awards
