As the soldiers prepare for their homecoming parade a number of high street giants have refused to display a poster of support but many have now had second thoughts.
Starbucks – Originally said no to taking the poster but after top level talks have agreed to place it on their notice board which all customers will see when they enter the global coffee giant’s city centre venue.
KFC – A spokesman said: “After talking to head office we are happy to support troops by putting a poster in our window.”
Ann Harvey – “We want to do anything to support our troops”
T-Mobile – “The area manager is happy to waive the rules on this occasion and put the poster up.”
Boots – “After a talk with head office about shop window guidelines we are more than happy to display it in our window to support the troops on parade.”
Burger King – After staff at the Above Bar Street restaurant said they were unable to put up the poster due to company guidelines, the firm’s franchise business leader for Southampton overruled the decision to allow them to support the campaign.
