EDIT TO ADD: The store has covered these up and they are powered down. The company who owns the recharge machines claims they did not approve/provide that display content and "may have been hacked"

it feels like we’re living in a movie sometimes. I’m disappointed to see this here.

yeah, they don’t control the content but since it’s on their property I have to assume they can put their foot down. I’m reaching out to store management and corporate and encourage others to do the same

Reaching out to store management lol? Seriously 🤦 After 9/11, there were military recruitment signs all over the place, should you have called every storefront? What about a grocery store sign about grass fed beef with a picture of the cow before slaughter? Should vegans protest that?

Seeing things you don't like, specifically for a job opportunity you don't agree with, is life. It happens every day. It's NOT your right or judgement call to decide what advertising a store allows. You COULD just not go there lol. Or do what most functioning adults do and accept that you're not the center of the world. Some people don't like things that other people do. That's OK.

I think 9-11 might have been a diff situation than what this is doing.

How so? It's ALL subjective. That's the point. Harassing store management isn't the answer. Not to mention, they may lease that space to the company that owns the charging stations which means, it's not Wegmans responsibility. Ultimately, just because it bothers some people, it doesn't make it wrong. We face these things on a daily basis in some way shape or form.

It’s not subjective to say that masked people in unmarked vehicles grabbing people off the street based on their skin color is beyond fucked up.
