I suspect that it isn't "illegal" to ring bells in malls. I think
that the mall owners don't want to bother the shoppers and the
shop owners with all of that ringing. So the Salvation Army
(or whoever) uses the fake bells. After all, there are a heck of
alot of people that shop there, so not being able to ring their
bells is a small sacrafice for all of the potential "donations"
that are there!

I welcome the opportunity for the Salvation Army to drown out all that *******
muzak!
