Win Money by Protesting Macy's
Want to win a Macy's shopping spree? Simply protest Macy's!
Max Goodlet learned that there's serious money to be made by protesting Macy's — so long as you don't mind spending your winnings at Macy's.
Marshall Field's in Chicago was taken over and renamed to Macy's in September. Marshall Field's was considered by many Chicagoans to be one of the city's historic traditions, so a number of people came to protest the renaming and opening of Macy's.
Max Goodlet stood in front of the store to protest Macy's, along with many other people who were there to protest or to attend the store's grand opening. Goodlet ended up winning a $1,000 Macy's gift card. By the time reporters caught up with him, the anti-Macy's message had been replaced with a message of appreciation. He was bogged down with merchandise, waiting for family to help him carry his bags.
Another protester,Helen Bezanes, claimed her $10 Macy's gift card, but she proffered the lame note that she was shopping "under duress."
Next time a Chicago store changes its name, protesters will brandish signs stating "Don't change the name — but if you do, give us free stuff while you're at it."
