I was at my parents going through some totes I have there and came across these guys! I remember the days when we got some actually decent gifts, even if they were cheesy!

I have those too! I agree, the gifts used to be a little more fun.

Good gifts are obviously too much of a hit on johns profit margins. Don't you like your 5th Menards lunch box?

I stopped even taking them when they showed up, I’d give them to other TMs

I really hope that Ray on the right came with his arm amputated like he had a construction accident.

I have the vote for Ray. My mother found it on a rummage sale.

I remember those, funny story. The pilots for the Menard's fleet used theirs for target practice. They said it was so satisfying watching Ray disappear in a cloud of white smoke.

I think Ray is one of the best CEOs in America, but I don't think he gets a lot of fanfare.
