Goodbye, Kopps.

If you know me even a little bit… you know I love Kopp’s Frozen Custard

Until today. 

Why? 

Did I discover a long hair in my cheeseburger? No. 

Were my onion rings soggy and cold? No. 

This is not a quality issue. 

This is a 100% PR / Belief issue. 

Kopp’s declared that Sunday, October 9th is Pro-Life Day. And Kopp’s is celebrating?? Um. What? Hello? Kopp’s? Why do you hate women? We’ve been good customers for decades. 

I’m pro-Woman. 

I’m pro-Voting. 

I’m pro-Democracy. 

I’m pro-Turtle. 

And until now… I was pro-Cupcake.

Kopp’s leadership, please come out and renounce this statement authored by a rogue employee. Please tell us that you respect women. Please tell us that you understand abortion should always be determined by the woman and what’s right for her. Please respond that you know a woman has the right to choose what is best for her body and her life. Please tell us that you’re on the correct side of history. 

Or we will be forced to boycott your delicious creamy custard. Neither of us want that.

I’m pro-Turtle. And Pro-Choice.

I wonder if Leon’s Pro-Choice?

AMENDMENT:

I spoke with 2 of Kopp’s management (north shore + layton ave).

They (both men) told me that this was an oversight and never intended to be a statement. I encouraged them to make a public statement to denounce the rogue employee. They should be fired. The amount of collateral damage this person created will bring to Kopp’s is far worse than giving someone a free burger because it was cold. This kind of damage could be irreversible.

    I read the PR bla bla bla response. It amounted to a flavor that might be named soggy skim milk toast (wonderbread).
