Here in the SF Bay Area, most of the malls and stores don’t allow the Salvation Army or the Hari Krishnas or any group to solicit. I don’t even recall a Girl Scout Troupe selling cookies. I still keep the “Don’t donate” Vouchers in my wallet just in case I run across a bell ringer in front of a Chick-Fil-A or Hobby Lobby that somehow got approved by the local planning commission.
Does my heart good to know people are still doing this. I had a bellringer try to block my hand when he saw I was putting a slip of paper in it. I just looked at him, smiled, and pushed it in anyway. These days I tune them out entirely but I have noticed less and less of them in the past few years. The bucket will sit there but no bellringer in sight.

Refusing to donate to the salvation army and then going to hobby lobby or chik fil a is pretty wild
Those stores are also located in strip mall areas with other stores, they could just be walking by.
In my expirence they are also commonly stand alone. Especially the chil fil a
So we need answers
You can also see them as you drive by, you don’t have to crusade against everyone
Okay okay I won’t crusade.
Perhaps just a little Spanish inquisition?
Well that was unexpected…
i think they were just trying to give examples of shitty places that allow SA solicitors
Maybe they’re going out of their way to express their discontent 🤷♀️
