View Full Version : Strange Starbucks Conversation
JohnnyEgo
09-27-2016, 08:56
I dropped my kid off at school this morning and headed over to the local grocery store Starbucks for the burnt, over-priced coffee that I love. I grabbed my 15 year old AR15.com zip up sweatshirt on the way out the door. It was a long line this morning, snaking out into the aisles of the store. A couple walked in after me, and as I moved aside to let them through, I said "End of the line is probably somewhere in baked goods."
The woman looked at my shirt and said "Well if you had brought your AR-15, you could have shot everyone else and demanded they make your coffee first."
Caught off-guard and unable to read the situation, I went with a deflection: "Yeah, but I hear they have bad coffee in prison."
The woman said "But I hear they have great showers."
I said "I suppose that depends on your perspective."
We had another interaction when I went to pick up my drinks that was equally as weird. During the whole conversation, the man she was with said absolutely nothing. The other patrons just sort of milled around silently. I have a lot of firearm branded clothing, but I don't normally dress like a GI Joe or a walking billboard for Guns & Ammo magazine, and this is the first time anybody has ever commented on my jacket. It was a strange way to start my day.
That's what you get for going to Starbucks?
I wouldn't have known what to say either and most likely would have said something stupid, or just laughed out loud. Seems like you handled it as well as it could have been handled to me. No anger, didn't take her comment seriously, no insult. You got a good story and she got nothing, even after a surprise attack.

By brother sent me the following shirt

So far nobody has been bold enough to say anything against it ... but I've gotten quite a few thumbs up :D
I wonder what her response would have been to this one?
Should have thanked her for letting you know who the last person you would defend if a gun wielding maniac came in.

The thing that gets me is that if these libtards actually believed that us gun owners are all an unhinged and dangerous lot prepared to murder people at the slightest provocation, why would they go out of their way to start shit with one of us?
I guess the answer is that they know their own stated beliefs are a lie.

That shirt is like when you think of the perfect thing to say 10 minutes after the conversation has ended.

So there is a second part to this story:
I have two Yeti cups with my corporate logo and name engraved on them. They are not pretty. One fell out of the back of my truck on the highway and got knocked around by traffic. It has road rash and a good sized dent in it. The other has been thrown in the back of our work vehicles many times and has been banged around by tools and supplies. I like to think of them as having 'character'.
I go to pick up my coffee and tea, and the same lady is right there behind me. "Oh my god, he has two Yetis."
I turned around and gave her the same line I give my employees all the time: "That's because I am fueled by caffeine and rage."
She repeated it twice, then told the beleaguered barista that she was "going to get that one in ink".
I really couldn't get a good read on the situation. One possibility is that it was an awkward public call-out, and that she kept it going because she didn't feel she got the effect she wanted.
Or she felt bad for having the first interchange, and was trying to engage me in conversation to seem normal.
Or she is one of those non self-aware people who wanted a conversation with a stranger.
Or she was hitting on me, in the way of 5th graders.
I really couldn't tell.

Yeti cups and Starbucks ??? Please turn in mancard to Ginsue [Sarcasm2]
Since this was pre caffeine you did quite well.
I am convinced libtards want to ban thing that they are incapable of using safely, thus think everyone else will do the same.
I have a better response for the prison shower statement, but I will keep it PG.
She was hitting on you.
Her van is close by and very comfy. Besides that, she has candy and you will be famous when everyone can see your picture.
Was the guy she was with, wearing a ball gag by any chance?
I'm thinking you just may have the beginnings of a series of good Dunkin Donuts commercials. [Coffee]

My vote ^
You had an encounter with an unhinged intolerant Lib who had to get in your face because she saw something she didn't like. It was a passive aggressive way of trying to intimidate/change you. Her typical beta-male partner stayed silent, like he always does, because she is the man the relationship and thus the battles are left to her.
You did excellent by holding your ground, not escalating, while being witty.

I suppose if you wanted to stoop to her level you could create a missed connections ad on Craigslist. "I was two fisting a couple of Yetis, you were the high functioning liberal who never raised her hand in class..."

I've got a couple of bolt face t-shirts, but I have only ever been asked what the goofy gear on my shirt is about, never been accosted. I do occasionally get a thumbs up or similar.
I'd say you handled it very well, and I agree, she was pissed she didn't get a rise out of you for the gun comment, so she decided to go after your choice in insulated cups. Which lends a little credence to her being not all there... Who gives a damn what insulated cup you use?

Completely average. Middle age, middle class, with her yoga pants days long behind her, and a Coldwater Creek 'Mom-on-the-Go' activewear vibe. Not fat, not thin, not hot, not hideous. There with what I can only assume was her husband, silently praying for the sweet embrace of death.

Just as an aside, this is also how I like my women.

Although she tries to be sarcastic/funny in her own little world, I think it was boarderline bullying by commenting more than once.
Maybe she should look at the root cause of the social issue. Say no to bully.
BTW, i don't mind at all by getting bullied by hottie, but this wasn't the case. [LOL]

I have spent a few decades perfecting this approach. The chatty ones get a pre-emptive stare just to push them off-center. Once you attain a sufficient level of angry codger, people see blue static ripple off you and start looking for a reason to not have to be near you. It is at that point that you find a life of peaceful nirvana where crowds part like the red sea and you are able to exist in a world without inane simpletons imparting their stupidity into your sphere of contentment.

You guys must have a different look than I do. If I'm wearing a collared shirt, of any color, in any store, I get asked which aisle things are located or if something is in stock. EVEN when I'm already asking an employee something. It's crazy.

I won't exaggerate and claim that I coughed up the beer that I was drinking all over my keyboard; but it was close.
Your kind (and all of our kind), while hated, are a bit of curiosity for those extreme liberals that have never actually met one of us. They have been told that we are a problem for our society; without being told exactly why we're a problem or why what we stand for is a problem.
She was probing. Probing occurs when new knowledge is desired or when reinforcement of existing knowledge is desired.
Despite her self-righteousness, brazenness and ignorance, she was engaging you.
Some around here might tell you to mouth off at her, ignore her, or fire off a funny one-liner at her.
But you have to realize that that woman is clay. Soft. Formless. No opinions of her own. Regurgitating what she has been told.
Buy her the stupid coffee she ordered (and her man-servant) and give her your name and number and invite her to come shooting with you some time. Do it while putting up a friendly smile and asking questions about their lives and what they're up to 'today'.
She may or may not take you up on the offer (and you may not even want to deliver on it), but she will second guess her thoughts every time someone else tells her that YOU are what is wrong with everything in her world.
It works. I've done it. Try it.

I admire your sentiment, I really do. But I only have so much time in life, and I have found it mostly wasted on those who have already formed an opinion. You can educate the ignorant, you can sway the open minded. You will not change the mind of someone who's opinion is firmly set. The best you will get, and seldom at that, is someone who now believes you are ok to own a gun, but everyone else still isn't. I will grant you that I certainly don't know whether this woman could be swayed. I do know that I would not be the one to do it, particularly before I've had my Grande Flat White.

I couldn't agree with you more.
And she probably wouldn't change her mind after one conversation. But she might stop to think and that at least interrupts the continuous flow of bullshit that she is used to consuming. Maybe it is a start. Maybe it is a waste of time.
All we can do is: try to change opinions ourselves, bitch about how things are, bitch louder in the hopes that someone else will listen and change things for us, or go to war for what we believe in.
I prefer to start at the first step and skip the other two in the middle. 'Bitching' doesn't accomplish anything and we have far too much of it going on around here.

The problem with this snowflake is she led with violence, even if only joking. She saw an image of firearm and her brain went to violence. I would not put a firearm in her hands. She is probably one of the Libs who thinks guns should be banned because she knows she couldn't handle owning one.
The silent husband is another red flag that she has issues.

Be abrasive to them or try to convert them.
One approach has a possible beneficial outcome. The other doesn't, but it sure might feel good.
The enemies of our beliefs are deploying the exact same approach... just in different methods.
Out-think your opposition or back into the ropes and try to preserve yourself and your beliefs for as long as you can... Deflection and preservation isn't an offensive strategy.
'Compromise' isn't an option, but approaching a situation from a feigned position of compromise can potentially open doors.
Displace, unnerve and rattle their initial expectations. And then pump in what you know is true.
It won't work often, but it will be a 'win' when it does.
Just my opinion.
A simple "fuck you" should suffice.
A few years ago, I was moving into an apt in Littleton and unfortunately the neighbors in the adjoining apt were outside on their porch, so they saw me move in my safes, guns, and massive quantities of ammo. They had things plastered on their window like "Women for Obama" and "Pagans are Peaceful" and all that new agey, liberal, "I'm an artiste!" sort of crap. So the overweight, organic only, health conscious chain-smoker wife starts bitching about guns and how they're horrible etc. Fast forward a few months. Some other dude who lived across the street, who had some serious paranoid delusional schizo problems, has decided that he is indeed the next Eminem and these folks, being self-employed photographers/graphic artists/videographers are going to be his ticket to stardom. He's also engaging in activities which seem to be geared toward grooming their 12 year old son for only God knows what sort of Turkish delights (i.e., pederasty). They freak out and tell me and say that if we hear them screaming to please come because they realized Mr. Delusional is in fact grade-A psych ward material. They explain everything that went down and are worried he is going to get violent with them. So I tell her, "If I hear you screaming bloody murder, I will come out with at least my pistol and if he is hurting you or your son, it's gonna go down." She broke down in tears and profusely thanked me and goes rambling on about how they are so glad I live there and are glad I have guns and can protect them since the dude was apparently drop of a hat level violent. She knew the cops would be too late for anything. Amazing how opinions change when it's their family on the line. They got evicted about a month later, unsurprisingly given that they were effectively white trash who didn't do anything but talk about their "art" while chain smoking on the "porch".
My favorite conversation was when we were talking about their garden they were growing in their assigned parking space (no car) and she was saying how she doesn't "...trust all the crap they're putting in food these days", thoughtfully looks off in the distance, and pulls a big drag from her Marlboro.

My favorite conversation was when we were talking about their garden they were growing in their assigned parking space (no car) and she was saying how she doesn't "...trust all the crap they're putting in food these days", thoughtfully looks off in the distance, and pulls a big drag from her Marlboro.
I would have told them that if I heard screams and shit was going down I'd be happy to call 911.
If they want to protect themselves then maybe they should consider owning a firearm.
While a valid response to their liberal stupidity, I felt like these folks were more ignorant than malicious. The kid made a difference in my mind. If it was just two adults, I might have. But as our Iraqi friends say, "Mistuh, the baby!"(even if the "baby" is a 12 year old boy)

A simple "fuck you" should suffice.
This generally gets the point across...
Sometimes it escalates the situation, but that only leaves the door open for more...
One of the best ways to cause a liberal, or really any idiot, to have a bad day, is to totally disregard their point, and be joyful about it. If they don't get to make you angry, they don't get the satisfaction they are looking for. Same idea as giving people a sarcastic grin and thumbs up (or golf clap applause) when they do stupid shit in traffic, the middle finger is so common place, and usually indicates you got angry, that they don't mind it.

By brother sent me the following shirt

So far nobody has been bold enough to say anything against it ... but I've gotten quite a few thumbs up :D
I wonder what her response would have been to this one?
Where does one purchase such greatness

Could also just blow 'em a kiss. That'll hang 'em up everytime.....

Yeah, that's a hard one to get a read on....No matter if she was trying to be cool and failed or an asshole and succeeded, either way that's a head scratcher.
So there is a second part to this story:
I have two Yeti cups with my corporate logo and name engraved on them. They are not pretty. One fell out of the back of my truck on the highway and got knocked around by traffic. It has road rash and a good sized dent in it. The other has been thrown in the back of our work vehicles many times and has been banged around by tools and supplies. I like to think of them as having 'character'.
I go to pick up my coffee and tea, and the same lady is right there behind me. "Oh my god, he has two Yetis."
I turned around and gave her the same line I give my employees all the time: "That's because I am fueled by caffeine and rage."
She repeated it twice, then told the beleaguered barista that she was "going to get that one in ink".
I really couldn't get a good read on the situation. One possibility is that it was an awkward public call-out, and that she kept it going because she didn't feel she got the effect she wanted.
Or she felt bad for having the first interchange, and was trying to engage me in conversation to seem normal.
Or she is one of those non self-aware people who wanted a conversation with a stranger.
Or she was hitting on me, in the way of 5th graders.
I really couldn't tell.

I sleep, get up, go to work, go home, eat dinner, watch a little TV or read and then sleep again.
On the weekends I do stuff and I wear my pro gun tshirts. Mostly I get positive feedback and any negative looks are just that, looks. Being a large and handsome man, I just give them a big smile and they go away without comment. I get more conversation from prog's because of my "Four Men Died - Hillary Lied" sticker on my SUV rear window than I do from my pro gun stuff.
Your kind (and all of our kind), while hated, are a bit of curiosity for those extreme liberals that have never actually met one of us. They have been told that we are a problem for our society; without being told exactly why we're a problem or why what we stand for is a problem.
She was probing. Probing occurs when new knowledge is desired or when reinforcement of existing knowledge is desired.
Despite her self-righteousness, brazenness and ignorance, she was engaging you.
Some around here might tell you to mouth off at her, ignore her, or fire off a funny one-liner at her.
But you have to realize that that woman is clay. Soft. Formless. No opinions of her own. Regurgitating what she has been told.
Buy her the stupid coffee she ordered (and her man-servant) and give her your name and number and invite her to come shooting with you some time. Do it while putting up a friendly smile and asking questions about their lives and what they're up to 'today'.
She may or may not take you up on the offer (and you may not even want to deliver on it), but she will second guess her thoughts every time someone else tells her that YOU are what is wrong with everything in her world.
It works. I've done it. Try it.
The problem with this snowflake is she led with violence, even if only joking. She saw an image of firearm and her brain went to violence. I would not put a firearm in her hands. She is probably one of the Libs who thinks guns should be banned because she knows she couldn't handle owning one.
The silent husband is another red flag that she has issues.
First, to what Jhood said, some people are beyond helping convert, and judging by her comments I wouldn't trust her with a gun, not like skip said in that she is against guns and thinks they're scary, more so I'd be afraid of her being one of those unstable, unbalanced, possibly deranged libtards that cannot be trusted, at all, with a gun, out of worry that she'd kill you for some deranged belief that "one less gun owner around makes the chirrens safer." There are a few people I've encountered that no matter how much you're willing to teach them, they're beyond saving.
