Wow I got the same response back word for word.
Mr. ******...
We respect your right to own and carry a concealed weapon and we trust that you respect our right as a privately owned business to choose not to allow weapons in our stores.
Thank you for writing,
Tammy Zbylut
No Frills Supermarkets
Lets keep writing letters maybe if we get enough response we can sway them!
I think this is the best approach - Give Tammy's email address to EVERYONE you know regardless of their CHP status and BEG them send an email. Not an email ASKING them to change but one simply stating that they do not agree with No Frills policy and that they will be shopping at Bag and Save who HAS taken their signage down and that they will no longer do business with No Frills. It doesn't have to be a nasty letter at all, just factual. One or two emails here and there are meaningless to them. Several hundred, or better yet several THOUSAND should open some eyes. Letting No Frills know specifically that they will be shopping at Bag and Save, their most direct competition, is huge.
Better yet, here is Fred Witecy's email address. He is the CEO. fwitecy@nofrillssupermarkets.com
Also would be nice if you could post Tammy's email addy rather than have them use that ugly contact form on their website.
And if it doesn't work, then write them off. They don't have that nice of stores, their prices aren't that great and they obviously don't want our business. I haven't shopped there even once since early February 2007.
Just my $0.02
