I don't drink muck coffee, but...

I'm liking Starbucks more all the time.

My question is this: Why do HCI and the Brady Bunch feel like they need to pressure Starbucks? It doesn't change the law, and would only reduce patronage by a fraction of a percent. We might boycott them if they changed their policy, bu the vast majority of the sheeple won't care one way or another. Bravo to Starbucks for standing on principal, instead of taking the easy path and quietly instituting a "no guns" policy. I may have to start drinking more coffee....

I would encourage everyone with some free time to drop Starbucks some positive feedback for not caving in.

As far as I'm concered, any time I need coffee, starbucks is the way to go.

Here was a quote from an article posted in AOL News -

Last month, the Brady campaign sent a letter to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz urging him to reverse the company's policy. The campaign noted that three Starbucks employees were shot and killed at a Washington, D.C., outlet in 1997 during a robbery attempt.

Completely relevant right? It's beyond insulting that they would put a murderous criminal on the same level as a law abiding citizen.

If some OC advocates had been sitting in there, they might have saved three lives.

I can't even fathom the thought process of these people.

Don't subject yourself to the vile beverage known as Coffee. Instead get a Venti Chai Tea Latte with 2 pump vanilla


I've got to agree that Starbucks is being very reasonable on this.

I can't stand Starbucks. I like just regular coffee with cream and sugar and their regular coffee is HORRIBLE!! Plus I'm not going to pay 3, 4, and 5 dollars for a cup of coffee. The latte's and caps don't taste bad, their just too expensive. And again, I can't drink their regular coffee it tastes burnt.

The most expensive cup of coffee there is 2 bucks.

"In California, where it's legal to carry a gun openly without a license in most places as long as it's unloaded"

I don't get it. If it's not loaded, what's the point? Good to know criminals live in fear in California...

That's the beauty of starbucks man, you can get your regular coffee, actually you can get a tall, grande, or venti coffee, but you get the idea.

I also think it's great that starbucks is not giving in. I read another article attached to the link, it said that gun control groups are petitioning to have the store change it's policy...which is odd to me because they could have a million or more signatures and the store owner could say, "Great, we are still going to allow people to open carry as long as it is within the laws of the state."

It also said Walmart, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Barnes and Noble have the same policy as Starbucks does.
