I really don't care if Yeti doesn't own the building. If it is a place for customers to shop, then they need to be in a building or property that isn't anti-gun. If that is something they care about and support.

Per Michael Cargill, the gun shop owner who took Yeti to task over this, they have taken down the 30.06 and 30.07 signs.

Seems now you just can't carry on the bar side, per the 51% sign that's there. Cargill is a huge asset for us..he's a great dude. |

Agreed. I mentally striked Yeti off my list, and mentioned it to a couple of my hunting buddies. I'll need to circle back around on this with an update.

I was thinking I wasn't going to buy Yeti products if they left these signs up.
Oh wait, I wasn't going to buy a $300 ice chest or $40 mug from them anyway.

I buy RTIC from Bucee's supporting 2 Texas businesses that don't step on our Second Amendment rights. The RTIC product is just as good at less than half price of Yeti.

People are patting Yeti on the back for taking down the signs. Has anyone thought that just maybe they (especially as a purveyor of outdoor products) should have done their homework before putting the signs up in the first place? I get the feeling that had this not been splashed across the internet and had it only been a couple of people complaining, they would have told the complainants to go pound sand.

Lmao support the cheap Chinese knockoffs of overpriced coolers and tumblers made in China, probably in the same manufacturering plants? Yeti only goes after the smaller companies they know that can't afford the legal bills. If they really cared so much about patents and the federal court is in their favor as you say, why haven't they gone after Walmart and Ozark Trail which is the biggest copycat competitor on their tumblers? If Yeti is so American, maybe they should make their over priced shit in America instead of Chinese factories. At least then some of their pricing would be justified. |

So what's the premises of the bar? Is it localized to just the front of the store? Or can you walk around in the store after visiting the bar?

I have never understood this silliness. Who cares if it keeps ice all day? I down a 44oz drink in about 5 minutes. I'm not frequently finding myself in need of keeping ice for a week. Most of the time I use an ice chest I'm not a significant distance from a QT. If I had a yeti I'd be limited to Keystone and Natty Light but I'm a beer snob. All about matching the use to the application. Jester |

Pelican coolers are made in the USA, and they aren't overpriced with shit that breaks off.

I'm glad the shaming worked, but I'm still pretty much in the "they either knew or should have known before the internet forced them to deal with this viral campaign" camp. And the only reason I need for buying RTIC over Yeti is that RTIC is sold in Buc-ees

When you're at a remote fishing camp and running out of ice requires a 4 hour roundtrip drive to town on switchback gravel roads with steep grades, no guardrails, and speeding logging trucks around every corner, plus a missed day of fishing, you spend the money on a good cooler
