You are making a business decision cause of a your fan hood. You wonder why the little brother comments are always around, ad its because of people like you. It's pathetic. Some people need to be able to separate themselves from sports and actual lives.
And I am a barometer on everything, whatever I like, is what people should like. I'm kind of a big deal.
Actually I said F, not ****. Good catch there. Oh I've hardly cared for this site with the constant stupidity going into threads here. It makes our fans look pathetic. It's honestly sad. I shared my opinion too!

I don't see why some of you are so down on the original poster. The owners of the Kum and Go are big Hawk supports, and a part of every dollar you spend there is going to support the Iowa Athletic program. There are no come and go's in Cedar Rapids, or at least none I know of or shop at. There are lots of convenience stores around and they are basically all selling the same crap. Yes, I know it is petty, but it is my money and I don't want to spend it where I know part of it will go to support the Hawks.
CycloneYoda said:I always base my purchases on what team the owner follows. I even go as far as to ask clerks if they are Hawk fans before allowing them to touch my yet-to-be purchases. If they answer yes, i just go to other stores.
I really hope that asking the cashier for this information is the first thing you do once inside of the store. Instead of asking them after you bring your cart of yet-to-be purchases to the counter. Otherwise your a idiot, and just wasted your time.
Remember, you do have choices where to shop!
I took this photo at the Kum & GO HQ a couple weeks ago when I had a meeting in West Des Moines. Everyone knows that K&G's owner is a big Hawk supporter, however, I consider this blatantly alienating part of your customer base and bad business. As a marketer, I would never fly an ISU flag in front of my company unless my business was based off of ISU.
Never noticed it before out there. Just passing it along,

Didn't mean to start a big deal here, but I think it is funny as this is always a passionate conversation, which I knew before posting.
CyDude16, do you add anything to this site besides your immature input?

Bill Krause (the owner on k&g) was the waterboy for Iowa football team. He is a huge donor to Iowa and used to fly Alford on recruiting trips in his private plane. Don't know if he is still that involved or not.
I try to avoid Kum & Go when I can but it has nothing to do with the hawks. It is because he is a huge ******-bag!
anyone ever heard of ISU's College of Engineering "Krause Scholarship" ? The Krause family donates to many different schools and charities.
ISU gets the leftovers...the difference between the Iowa and ISU donations is enormous. I turned down a job there because of the hawkdom and the dress code several years back. I avoid K & G like the plague. They were the lead donor on the Kinnick renovation.
Laugh at me, I do not care.
