Starbucks

Howdy Folks,
I went to Starbucks today in St Cloud, MN.. I didn't see any protesters, or anything unusual going on. I had to chuckle a bit listening to two 300 lb+ women giving the manager some dieting tips!
The cashier had to explain to me what a latte is! I don't get to town much! I had a caramel latte and their version of an egg mcmuffin..
I liked it, I may go back there again..
Then I went to Scheels and picked up a Winchester 94 for dessert!

Nice desert

I bought stocking stuffers i.e. gift cards for the kids and a cup of regular coffee. I sent them an email saying "Thanks for sticking to your guns"

Dang, I forgot to go by. Oh well I'm sure there wasn't any protesters in our town or they'd have been run over by a giant 4X4.

I've spent it by driving 612 miles so far. Would have liked to gone to one. My hats off to them. And just think at all the liberal greenies that dont know they are supporting the CCW cause. Gives me a warm feeling in the guts.

Same here. I'll stop tomorrow and get something.

I had coffee there today with my 6 buddies we looked for protestors but saw nothing.

Only two people in the store I went to. But a long line of cars at the window. They said that was normal for a tues. afternoon. I had just cleaned my 94 and smelled of Hoppes #9. Got Mocha for me and my wife and put 10 buck on her Starbucks card. Paid with a handfull of $2 bills. I had to tell them what was going on.

My favorite Starbucks is just business as usual. Same 5:30am crowd every morning.

It's Texas.

You packin'?

Who cares... ?

Dear Tycer,

Thank you for contacting Starbucks.

Thank you for your feedback regarding Starbucks' policy on open carry laws.

At Starbucks, we deeply respect the views of our customers and recognize that there is significant and genuine passion surrounding the issue of open carry weapons laws. We comply with local laws and statutes in the communities we serve. Our long-standing approach to this issue remains unchanged and we abide by the laws that permit open carry in 43 U.S. states. Where these laws don't exist, openly carrying weapons in our stores is prohibited.

As the public debate around this issue continues, we encourage customers and advocacy groups from both sides to share their input with their public officials. We are extremely sensitive to the issue of gun violence in our society and believe that supporting local laws is the right way for us to ensure a safe environment for both partners and customers.

Sincerely,

Matthew

Traveling on company biz.

Stopped at the Bowling Green university exit on I-71 in OH and at the Clifton Springs travel plaza off I-90 in upstate NY.

Hoped we all gave them a 'bump' they can see in the sales numbers.

I took SightHunter to our local Starbucks and we got a Cinnamon Dolce Latte each. It was a sweet, cinnamon flavored coffee with a lot of cream. Pretty good. I told the girl at the counter that I usually don't go to Starbucks, but that today I was supporting Starbucks for their company policy of staying out of political issues. She said that she appreciated my input, but she didn't know what I meant. Nice kid, but a little bit unconcerned with what is going on around her unless it is about her. I didn't mention to her that it was about concealed carry, but the fact that I went and showed support is enough for me at this point.

[El Chivo]

I went, there didn't seem to be a boycott of any kind. I didn't know about the $2 bill thing, I actually have one I could have used.

One good thing for the libs, you can't go shooting the same day you drink Starbucks or your groups will be embarrassing. Unless of course you go afterwards.

It was business as usual at the Starbucks in north Carrollton.

To paraphrase what F Wiedner said,
It's Texas,
You packing?
Who aint'?

I went to Starbucks and didn't notice anything unusual.
The girl that waited on me(which looked like a frigin model) I mentioned I was there to support Starbucks on the guns issue.
She laughed and said "well thank you, and by the way you are not going to believe this but I am an avid skeet shooter and shoot over 200rds @ week

Went to give her $5 for the coffee(her smile and she liked guns )she smiled and said "nope,on the house" will be going there more often!

I don't patronize Starbucks for the simple reason is that they serve up coffee that tastes burnt and over-roasted. I also think it's over-priced for what you get. I prefer a couple of locally-owned coffee shops that take pride in buying top-quality product from local vendors.

Both owners are also 2nd Amendment supporters. In fact, one gentleman, when he found out I'm a "gun-guy", said, "You'll love this." invited me to step behind the counter, and showed me a WW2-era Walther P-38, still carrying Nazi proof marks. He uses it as his carry piece while at work.

Not a whole lot different in Okie land

Met an Army buddy there i hadn't seen in a while --- we discussed the CCW issue briefly as a course of normal conversation -- but i had forgotten about Starbucks supporting CCW
I was carrying my Det Special and he a compact Glock -- pretty much business as usual -- i should have said something though and will the next time i go there
