That has to be a very recent occurrence as I have heard/seen ads still for Rich and Sheila's place not too long ago. So the Griz cups are coming from the main McD's and not the WalMart one?SACCAT wrote:Rich and Shiela are not the owners of any of the stores in bozeman any more. I heard they sold out, but don't know to who...Even though I should.

Touche'. I never eat there either. My hatered of McDonalds runs almostas deep as my hatred of WalMart.BozoneCat wrote:That is just absolutely ridiculous. I think a few phone calls to the right people, with a legitimate threat of boycotting all Rich & Sheila-owned McDonald's (not that I ever eat there anyways, but I digress)
Eric Curry STILL makes me sad.

A McDonald's on Main Street? Yuck.......SACCAT wrote:The one she got was at the Main street Mcd's. I just heard that one of the very high up Boosters son went there and got one, went back to his dad and let him know. Mcd's has called him to say sorry, and is now calling the other Big wigs to say sorry as well.

No doubt. Not only are the cups in bad taste, but the whole building as well. Tell the manager to get that thing off Main St. and move it down by the I-90 interchange where it belongs.

Funny...
I wrote a paper about McDonald's for one of my management classes back in college, and I interviewed the general manager of one of the local stores at the time. One of his complaints was that, while the stores are locally owned, a lot of the decisions about product offerings, marketing, etc. are made at the regional level -- and all of Montana is included in the "Seattle Region." Thus, while it's idiotic to sell UM cups in Bozeman, I doubt the local owners had anything to do with it -- more likely, UM has an ad deal with McDonald's corporate, and the schlep in Seattle who made the decision to send UM cups to Montana didn't know better than to send Griz cups to the franchisee in Bozeman.
Just a guess; I could be wrong.

I work as an attorney so that I can afford good scotch, which helps me to forget that I work as an attorney.

If you get to the point of boycotting a store because of what they have on their drink cups or grocery bags, maybe you need to rethink your obsession with the UM/MSU thing...
You mean kind of like Bobby Hauck has allegedly told his players? (Not to patronize stores in Missoula owned by Cat fans) Or that he allegedly refuses to stay/eat in Bozeman?

I have to call you out...this just shows the passion that most people have for their team. I am sure many true Griz fans would do the same if this was reversed. Being a true fan is an obsession. You gotta love that!!Bozgriz wrote:If you get to the point of boycotting a store because of what they have on their drink cups or grocery bags, maybe you need to rethink your obsession with the UM/MSU thing...
YES, Exactly that! As a loyal Griz supporter but Gallatin Valley resident, I will support whatever businesses in this area that provide the service I want or need. You all know I support BH as a coach but this other stuff is stupid and I would tell him the same thing...HelenaCat95 wrote:Bozgriz wrote:Jeez folks, is this really that big a deal? Get over it...

No, I wouldn't call the local McDonalds to bitch about the schedule on the cup...rtb wrote:I have to call you out...this just shows the passion that most people have for their team.

Last year I bought a can of Pepsi in Drummond and it had the cat schedule on it...still like my sugar water and didn't call them to complain.

Ok - fair enough...If we ever meet, I'll buy you an order of "freedom fries". But it will have to be at Burger Bobs.Bozgriz wrote:YES, Exactly that!

Not that I haven't already had it up to here with the Hauck debate, but I've gotta ask, which way are you arguing with this post? Are you arguing that it's ok for Hauck to say the things he allegedly said, or are you arguing that Cat fans who boycott McD's because of the Griz cups are as bad as Hauck?HelenaCat95 wrote:You mean kind of like Bobby Hauck has allegedly told his players?

Come on Boz, whether you would go so far as to boycott a business over this or not you cannot say with a straight face that it isn't incredibly dumb to be promoting the rival school from a business such as a restaurant. Missoula would be in an uproar(and rightfully so) if Taco Bell started handing out Blue and Gold Bobcats cups with every value meal.

Not arguing either way...just pointing out that it happens on both sides of the of the intra-state war. However, in this alleged case, it happens to be the head coach.Grizlaw wrote:Not that I haven't already had it up to here with the Hauck debate, but I've gotta ask, which way are you arguing with this post?

(notice the "artful?" use of the word "alleged". something i've learned from my lawyer friends when I can't specifically verify something. Now that will be $150 please.....something else I've learned from my lawyer friends.")
