I knew Libs & Progs were up to finding a pretext/angle to condemn CfA's act of charity.
Speaking of rational things, I wonder how far up the management chain this was decided. Obviously, the employees came in, and probably said, "sign me up" as soon as it was proposed to them on the phone or text message. And equally obvious, the store manager and assistant managers organized and ran the "operation". Looking beyond the obvious, I wonder where the idea came from, what approvals might have been given, and what logistic arrangements were approved/made (stores have limited storage capacity, and don't carry much more inventory than they know they'll need, and this "operation" consumed a full day's stock of food, beverage, and packaging).
IMO, the idea may have come from the local store - they probably heard the awful news first - but I'll bet approvals were given, willingly and gladly, all the way up to the corporate CEO and owners.
And if philosslayer and oberliner hate that CfA earned further good will, maybe they should find an atheists' or Progs' charity to preempt CfA (or various Christian charities in other times/kinds of need; H-5 Linda!).
