@kcantor This error is common sql database issue when joining different objects for which you cant change collation type. Use either of below queries to overcome collation issue. 

 

Select * from A join B on A.text = B.text COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS

 

or

 

Select * from A join B on A.text = B.text COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT

Simple work around is to add an index column.
