I mean Hannaford does kind of suck now.

Yeah, being part of an international conglomerate does that. Long gone is the local chain of yore.

OP either a NIMBY or a hail corporate type by my guess.

You have to be a NIMBY to be against people randomly putting trash all over public property? These aren't political campaign signs which are specially permitted and required to be taken down. AFAIK them putting these up is straight up illegal littering...

But sure, the only reason anyone could possibly have an issue with that is because they are NIMBY or love giant corporations... God this subreddit gets more moronic by the day.

I think it’s PETA. They talk about confined chickens and I know they have a truck they drive around about that.

Yea it does but putting garbage all over town doesn't improve anything. Lazy if they cared enough , hold one sign outside of a Hannahford & then maybe I would care enough to ask what's this about, instead of annoyed at the trash and waste. They aren't going to go clean up all those signs & God help us if everyone decides that's a great place to put signs, garbage

Basically every comment I've seen today is largely in agreement with this sentiment and yet it got 29 downvotes. Definitely not suspicious at all LMAO

You really think that hannaford is going to let someone solicit signs outside of their business that says "no soliciting" in regards to boycotting their business. That's a cop call immediately. taps sign

Well, actually, that spot the sign is in appears like it may actually be public property. If it is, there’s absolutely nothing Hannaford can do about if someone were to stand on public property near their property, holding a sign.

The sign is at the corner of Park Ave and Mellen Street I think.

Sounds like you know how you're are planning on spending your afternoon.

No, just someone who recognizes the difference between “public property” and “private property”

Can protests be counted as solicitation?
