ur basiclly writhe with that blog to. but tonights conversationwith Cavuto the CEO was asked by Neil , whatabouyt the guy who carrys concealed. His answer was wehope that NO one iwll comein with a gun other thancops and military. He could have CYA easily by saying "what we dont know doesn't matter to us. Sure people will carry concealedin there but they know thatis ot allowed by company policy either.
It is the CEO's decision to announcewhgat they wanted. This sittingon the fence sh!t as the article even stated not wanting to hurt anyone's feeling never works in most any situation. theydon't want mein ther with a gun and I carry 24/7 so I will honor that and just go somewhere else and drinkcoffee cheaper. They folded to anti gun pressure and the anit's won, if u cancalllosing business "winning"..

I wonder if it is a status thing with some people to be sitting in starbucks drinkin $4 cup of piss and aqcting like it is the best of the best. Dunkin Donuts beats them allto hell and also in price to. Truth be know Starbucks will not miss the gun toting drinkers, for more than likely most will tellyou thatthey wo't go in there butr THEY WILL. Starbucks knows that to.
I can go into anera Bread and for $1.92 drink coffee until they close if I want to. I normally drink 4 cups of their Hazelnut coffee every day there with friends, with my PMJ9 in my front pocket plus their pastries and bagels are not 4 days old like some of that stale sh!t starbucks has in the case..:amflag::amflag:

ur to old to understand muggs, go back to bed, its late
Starbucks has been put in a bad position. The nutcase open carry idiots have been invading their stores with press coverage they've dragged in behind them. I commend Starbucks' public position....guns not welcome but not banned. What that means in English is stop trying to drag us corporately into advocating your dumb ass crap. Be cool, act like normal, rational, CC folk and we really don't care.

Email with send to the attention of the Mr. Schults CEO of Starbucks for what good it will do. The fact that I, My family and friends will no longer patronize their stores, or purchase any of their products no matter where they are sold will have more impact in the long run as that is the only recourse that we have.
I firmly refuse to spend one cent in any business that does not fully support my second amendment rights!

Oh I think kthe gun nuts did bringit on and then public pressure put them in a bind. The CEO toight did say though that the no guns in the business meant ccw people to. He just hope they would honor that. Sure they won't know ur carrying, most all places don't now that if u ccw.He could have just staed it that way and he would have please both sides. I have always felt to carry open might be a right but also it is a business right to say not in my place. The open carry people broght this on,no doubt about it, but I think the CEO stated their position incorrectly to. U can't straddle the fence and win both sides either.Ones balls when doing that wllgo one wa or the utter..
Anutter reasonwhy I like to eat at Chic Felit, they told the gays to stick it in their ass (which actuly is not an uncommon thing,I am told) They made theire stance on gay marriages and the gay/lesbows went after them, and the Chic Felit corporation won the battle. Sometimes u gotta stand up for what u also believe in, .. I am not falting S/B totally,but IMO the CEO handled it badly on the cavuto show...

I also sent them a respectful letter explaining why I too will not enter any "Gun Free" area or buy a product supported by this policy. Asked them to reconsider their policy and not give in to the "Control" freaks. Instead support the Constitution.

I go to Fourbucks but always order a medium coffee instead of a grande whatever ya call it. Gives me a chuckle. Get a bigger kick watchin' the privileged folk order their half calf no whip latte cinnamon sprinkle...then fork over six clams. Not that there's anything wrong with that...nor with being privileged.
Great start to your day.

I understand SB was in a bad position. Not sure their position will make that much difference in their bottom line....but here's my take. Where ever I go, I carry. If a store doesn't like it, they don't need to know what I'm doing. If there's a problem that corporation isn't going to protect me or my family. Remember Luby's cafeteria in Texas? I'd rather count on myself and let the chips fall where they may. And one more thing, the open carry folks can do what they like, but I don't want anyone to know I'm carrying.....until it's too late.

My espresso machine at home means I don't have to depend on foreign oil (Starbucks). ;)
If you don't want to learn how to be your own barista, get a Nespresso pod machine. The machines very good and the espresso is too. They are super fast and easy. It is much cheaper than Starbucks, but more expensive than using a regular espresso machine.

I don't like Starbucks coffee, never go there, could care less what their policy on guns is as I'd carry into one anyway if I ever had a reason to go there. You can go to the popular chain of convenience stores here and get several varieties of coffee, with all the flavorings and stuff available. It's about a dollar for a 20oz cup, and tastes much better than any Starbucks crap I've had. And you don't have to put up with the "hipper than thou" customers Starbucks seems to attract.

I have no doubt if u go into a starbucks with open carry u are gonna be asked to leave. try it andlet us know. According to the CEO, they don't want people in their place with guns, now he says we won't enfore it if they do, now how "lame" is that statement. He also said when asked about ccw people that Starbucks wishs is that no guns willbe in the building, again how lame is that. They straddled the fence IMO, Of the thousands of Starbucks stores in the U.S. it would be inteesting to note just how few of them were actually in the open carry visit back then.I know the 3 in Terre Haute had no one comment about it. It was blown out of proportion IMO. One can't beat ground coffee fresh, have to agree on that but I will drink a McDonalds any day over Starbucks and that was way before the gun ban. I really thought Starbucks coffee sucked. their Frapps were great but way over priced.I used to grind my own cofee also but just got lazy, as for me coffee is like pizza to me. Never found either one that I could not eat or drink.

You're getting robbed. I only pay 41 cents including tax at McD's. A co-worker once brought me a cup of Starbuck's coffee, but it was so bad I couldn't drink it. That's saying something for me with a normal daily consumption of 10-12 cups. I got a $25 gift card from them last Christmas, but gave it away, because they have nothing that interest me.

u pay 41 cents because ur older and they kow ur not gonna be around very long. That why u get that discunt. I think these locasl Mickey D's can set their own price for senior cofee, as in terre Haute, I pay 65 cents and here in my home town 55. I don't want a 41 cent cup of cofee for I have been told they know sumpin about me that I don't know. Just sayin.

True story - only the names have been changed to protect the innocent:
A buddy's dad kept returning to the same McDonalds every morning for months -- bringing the same cup as the day before, asking for a free refill, and reading the free newspaper. Took awhile but they finally kicked him out. He created a great big scene and told them he would take his business elsewhere...:rolleyes:

now thats laughable, but "true story" this happened about a week ago in Panera Bread whereI loaf for about an hour + a day. I gheard the store manager gal (who is drop dead georgeous) tell a couple in their 60"s that this stuff has got to stop. The next day I seen her and ask what the issue was and she said those people bringin their own cup and drink our cofee and pop out of our machines and read our newspapers and buy a bagel at best.

I prefer V-8 juice & skim milk every day for breakfast, then a couple of Bloody Marys on Sunday morning.
The wife drinks two cups of decaf every day. She's got one of those 1 cup Keurig rigs.
Maybe once a month I'll use a half cup of her leftover coffee and stir it in a glass of skim milk with 3 teaspoons of sugar. Have been doing that for at least 60 years - before I ever heard of the frenchy word "latte".

Well...I am a coffee snob, if that means liking really good coffee. Grind beans at home as well. Buy from Ugly Mug out of Tennessee and Raven's Brew. I find this whole Starbucks as the holy grail of coffee bit rather amusing as I consider a lot of their blends pretty second rate. They are consistently decent though when looking for coffee on the road.
