Would McDonalds allow Burger King to go into their restaurants and tell their customers about the specials they had that day?

If I were standing in McDonalds, and saw a friend there, could I tell him about a special that Burger King had that day?
Probably, but if you told every customer that came in I don't think McDonalds would like it. To tell just *one* person in here, though, you have to send him a PM.
Still, I don't think the policy helps RCU in general and it does restrict the flow of information that can help it's members, depending on how it's used.
