Savings4me~
Thanks for letting us know. I had a feeling that would be the case. Their prices would be relatively the same and learning what they need and don't need to implement.
I like the aspect of a new place to shop, shake up the other stores and possible new saving opportunities and it is so clean, bright, some new lines of products.
They are new to Canada too so they are learning too. I have only been in one once in the states and I just loved it.
Thanks very much for letting us know the follow-up of your email. We have all the time in the world and we'll be there when they do implement that rule and when they mis-price an item we will be ready to call it when they do. Thank you again!

Yes, I was once asked by a veteran on my way by the table if I would like to wear a poppy. I apologized, said I had no cash with me at the moment. He said (very nicely), "I didn't ask if you had any money, I asked if you would like to wear a poppy." And he pinned one on my lapel with a smile and sent me on my way.
I often think that these organizations have more trouble raising funds these days, because there's a lot of people like me who operate on plastic. I rarely carry cash, or even change, unless I know I have a specific need for it.

Last year at Sears, little girls from a gymnastics club were out collecting money at all the Sears store doors. The thing is, parents have to pay a lot of money to send their kids to this club -- it's certainly not free to any child wanting to participate. The organization having the kids out "begging" as a requirement of club enrollment irked me -- sports activity fundraisers should involve asking only people you know, and I really think that the parents (considering they're already able to pay substantial fees and have chosen to enroll their children in expensive activities) should be paying the full cost of their kids' involvement.
I do like giving to veterans during the poppy campaign, as the money helps fund educational and veterans' programs. As a society, we owe a debt to these veterans, and many stores seem to allow the Legion to run poppy campaigns even when they don't normally allow people to collect money for other causes. I hope Target will as well.
I'm not too excited about Target coming here -- I never seem to buy much there when I'm in the US. Things seem quite expensive.

Nice to see you posting SmackUTwice.
Target wrote me back:

Of course, you can also give us a call at 800-440-0680 for more information.
We value the time you've taken to write. Your concerns about our pricing accuracy are very important to us, and I've shared them with the Leadership team and our Store Operations executives for further review.

Thanks for writing. Hearing about your experience is important to us.

You're very welcome.
It's an extremely common misconception - I think Home Depot banned it, or maybe it was WM, a few years ago. There was a massive backlash (I remember writing an infuriated letter to whichever company it was telling them that for as long as they didn't support Canadian veterans, I wouldn't be supporting them); their HO apparently thought they were soliciting donations, which had led to the ban in the first place (or so they claimed, and since so many people think they're for sale, I can see why they would have thought so).
I will be so sad when there are no more WWII vets left to pin them on my coat.
