ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.
We have a similar problem down here as well. Our vets and their wives, etc have been selling the poppies outside of Target, Tops, etc for YEARS. Ever since I could remember. Last year, I didn't see one person out selling poppies. So far this year, I haven't seen one either. Not quite sure why, but I overheard it was something about them not allowing solicitors, and they were making an exception for the vets. It definately upset a LOT of people, and some people won't shop there anymore over it.
They've put themselves out on the line for us, and what we have today, and this is what they get in return. They don't hound you for cash, they just stand/sit there, and whoever wants to willingly donates. Give them a fricking break.
I'm really tired of the veterans getting shafted.
