I'm trying to find an actual story to this, but this is what I found so far. So yes, Christmas time is here, also known as Corporation Appreciation Month, and this bit of news pops up. Discuss.

i didn't hear about this and i live about 10 minutes outside of seattle. our dept of public transportation has done a lot of dumb things in the past though so this doesn't surprise me. i bet if a higher authority was alerted of this they would ask them to revert their decision. however, seattle's mayor is a braindead idiot who hasn't accomplished a single thing while in office, so he'd probably have no useful opinion on the matter.

who would this offend? the many residents radically opposed to supporting their local economy over the holiday?
