It took me a week, but I just remembered something else that Target did, a long time ago.
They'd had Salvation Army bell ringers in front of their stores for years, but then in 2004 they were banned:
Banning bell ringers backfires

TAMPA, Fla. — When Florida was reeling from one hurricane after another during the sum-mer, the Salvation Army was a welcome sight for thousands of storm victims. But with the holidays here, the charity’s bell ringers and red kettles have been barred from Target stores.
Target decided earlier this year it could not permit Salvation Army bell ringers at any of its stores because doing so would be unfair to other charities wanting to solicit shoppers.
Now some shoppers are fuming that the nation’s second-largest retailer would turn away a charity whose bell ringers have long been a symbol of the holiday season.
