But in BP? Who cares?!?! No one will maser on me anyway... 
Same way residents can get daily telemarketing calls which were outlawed who knows how long ago, only because if someone reports these businesses or tzedaka organizations they'll have their children kicked out of the mosdos.

Looks like this has much more publicity about what they are doing. And unfortunately there always are moser's. And someone can do it anonymously.

Lol. I just thought I was missing something...

They actually started 3rd party delivery for I believe $10. On a large order it might be well worth it

Correct. But only till 5/6pm, so late night shoppers still have to shelp home. I have to say, it got a little more busier since they got delivery. A few weeks ago they started providing boxes that they had from orders (instead of paying for the garbage to take it) was quite a secne people coming in with all types of boxes and they didn't give tape and it was ripping apart...

Non-profits are exempted from the Do not call registry.

It is already in the Forward. You don't think it could end up in the Daily News?

"Adding to their headaches was the fact that the story ended up on the news – most notably YWN"   Lol

With the amount of money they make from ads in the magazines, they should pay to be shelved in a grocery.

Gotta take into account what some of these writers charge. But the prices are getting crazy

Is he going to take the blame if someone can't keep their store open?

Some of these papers advertise on his site. I haven't seen groceries advertising with him.

You don't need to go that far. He is in their industry.

I have zero sympathy for the grocers.

They were used to ripping off the customers by putting on exorbitant markups (the manufacturers and distributors aren't innocent) and getting away with it because every store went along. So they aren't making a lot of money on the newspapers and magazines. Cry me a river. The biggest chutzpah is that some on that list are huge groceries who literally make millions.

Don't you love when people count other people's money.

I never do, but when they notched up their chutzpah is another story.
