We dont have them at our Walmart supercenter this year either....
Our Walmart checkout chicks wish us a "Happy Hollidays" ...they dont want to offend anyone but Christans (whose Holliday it is...in the first place)...
That's strange, because our local Walmart Supercenter allows the SA bell ringers! I've seen them! This is in Ogden, Utah. Many Kroger's stores, like Smith's, have them this year too. There's a smaller, local store called "Acres" in North Ogden (my town), that has bell ringers too! I was saddened to see that Target doesn't have them.
