At my local store I showed the store manager a letter like the one below. When he said that the placement of the magazines was not up to him, I asked his permission to collect signatures in front of the store in order to send to the main office. He was nice enough to say yes, and so I stood outside the store and got signatures under the following letter. The main office was unresponsive at first, but after several follow ups, I got a letter which said in part, "If we receive complaints about a particular magazine, our Store Manager can make the decision to move that issue to another location." According to that response, the store manager has more decision-making power than the head office admitted at the beginning.

I believe the checkstand area should be family friendly, because everyone has no choice but to pass through there. If you believe that too, then I invite you to personally take a letter like the one below to your store manager.
