Starbucks Anti-gun?

[GammaRei]

Please tell me Peets isnt anti-gun as well. i dont know how i'd live without their morning brew.....

I worked there for a year and a half. And no one ever gave me crap about gun stuff. I would talk with customers about guns, co workers, managers. The only issue that I see is that theyre neutral as well. . .

How can a coffee place be anti-gun, especially in CA? I suppose if they had a "no guns" sign up in a right to carry state, that could qualify them, but a lot of places have those "no guns" signs over in the free states.

Besides Coffee Bean coffee is way better and the girls working their are usually better looking.

there was a no guns signs in the joe's crab shack by my house on Texas... I thought it was pretty funny

I haven't been to a starbucks since I wore my "nobama" shirt to one on election day and got snickered at by a couple of dimwit college tramps and a fat gay guy.

I like my wife's coffee better anyway.

I know a lot of people who get up really early for the hunt can't hurt your coffee business (what else wakes you up that quickly), but, then again, I don't think the "grunts" I am thinking about are known to frequent higher-priced coffee chains like Starbucks.

Coffee tastes like crap. Who cares?

It came to my attention a Calgunner posted ,that Starbucks Inc. was anti-gun? I frequent Starbucks regularly and was upset about this information. So, I contacted their corporate office and spoke with a representative on this subject and their statement was in-fact" neutral". They stated "We do not want to loose valuable customers in these hard times and that this is a political issue Starbucks would like to side on"...

Why not play dumb? Ask the Brady Bunch for a list of their corporate allies who want more gun control laws. Promise to patronize them, but boycott as necessary...

Easy way to test

Starbucks used to block "weapons" web sites from their WiFi link. Just go in with your laptop, order a cup of joe, and see if you can log into calguns.net, or nranews.com

Stanford Hospital's waiting rooms don't block "weapons". It's nice to kill time waiting for a doctor catching up on firearm news.

By the way, "Content Filter" lists you buy, either software (Zone Alarm Pro) or hardware, is default set to block "weapons". First thing I change when I update.

I just CC when I go to a store that has "no gun" signs. Sometimes, I forget and no one really notices. As for SB, on the rare occasions I go there, I use the drive through. Not too many hippies here in VA, but we have plenty of Obama leg humpers in C'ville.

When I go into S B I always bring 2 or 3 copies on guns for military and police and a few of combat handguns and whatever other magazines I have with me and spead them around so anyone can get a good look.

Doing my part for our 2nd A. rights!

If starbucks bans guns from there shops???
What about armed leo's???

Would that make for a valed class action law suite???

(and no peets I know of in my area, also sb is down the street from my job, so easy to stop on the way home)

I'm surprised the hippies there don't throw the 12-grain whole wheat bagels at you.

All that heavy fiber could really hurt if it hits you in the head.

This sounds like misinformation. Remember when folks would distribute whole Starbucks is anti-war BS email before checking Snopes?

[M1A Rifleman]

There is a fact that they refused to send or donate coffee to those serving in Iraq. Other coffee venders gladly donated. Sorta seems not support the troops to me.

[SuperSet]

That is the falsehood that I'm addressing. You should read the Snopes article about this that includes the actual response from the email writer. Total BS and considering this is the misinformation highway, you should be skeptical of forwarded emails.
