My wife goes there quite regular but never enters the store. I don't see anything pertaining to the drive thru. I'd rather not give them our money anymore. We as responsible gun owners should stand together and hit these businesses where it hurts

I like the places that put signs up that say" concealed weapons are welcome, just keep them concealed" is a sign at a business by my house..lol... if your in Starbucks take your weapon in there, there's nothing they can do, its concealed!!! And if someone sees you printing all they can do is ask you to leave. Its not an offense unless its a no carry place written in the laws of your state u live in........

They are trying to play both sides of the field. Trying to make money from both sides.
I don't go there more than a couple times a year, but the most recent times I have made it a point to thank them for respecting the individual's right to self defense.
It's okay; any kind of coffee that they make there I can make at home. Espresso is not a complex process.
Some of the drinks are just funny.
Americano: you realize you just paid them an extra dollar to water down your espresso?
Starbucks is to coffee what McDonalds is to food, with an extra helping of pretentious.

This new starbucks policy isnt really all that onerous when you read it.

Some of the pro carry demonstrations went "over the top". They were carrying AR's and shotguns etc. into the store thumbing their nose at the anti's. Well it came back to bite them (us). Some people took it to the extreme and showed their butts and basically forced Starbucks hand.
SB is still riding the fence as best they can. They've respectfully requested that people don't open carry there but won't enforce anything if they do. It's a prickly situation for them to be in trying to make everyone happy which can't be done.
About the only time I've been in a SB is in DC and you can't even carry an empty shell casing there so it hasn't been a problem.

To us in the Seattle metro area Howard Schultz can go screw himself. The biggest complaint is when he sold the Seattle Sonics to that snake charmer and moved them to OKC a few years later. Schultz knew full well what OKC was up to but simply took the money and stuck it in his pocket and forgot about the 42 years of tradition. I have been in Starbucks maybe three times..simply to use their bathrooms...making sure I stink it up and leave. I hope more and more gun owners boycott his stinkin' coffee shops and stay away for good. I for one haven't and will never give him one dime of my money.

That's a ridiculous statement. There are plenty of "normal" people left in this country doing the right thing (having babies?)
Maybe the downfall of this country is both parents having to work all the time to support their overly lavish lifestyle trying to keep up with the rich and famous all the while neglecting their children and expecting teachers who make on a national average $35,672 a year to raise their kids....
:hmmm2:
Who knows there's tons of reasons.

I have a friend that has a gay father and two gay mothers for parents. The mom and dad wanted a child, and when the mother approached with an offer of impregnation he accepted. Gay people still have kids, more than people are aware of actually, and my friend is a straight male. I won't judge how someone can live their life because that is what the heads of this country are trying to do. I don't want to be like them and be that evil.
But anyway, Starbucks has probably seen my business.....2 MAYBE 3 times in my life... I don't drink coffee, but they have good hot chocolate products. I think I will be taking my business to Dunkin donuts.... At least there I can get a good pastry and free Wifi, and avoid the Liberal morons.
We are on the same page my friend. I believe that freedom is universal. I don't care what you do as long as it's not directly effecting me at the time.

Both my parents taught for 30 plus years and I was raised right even though our income was not very much, same goes for Leos. But the good thing for working for a state or government is the pensions.......Concealed 27
I wasn't dogging the teachers and there are some great ones out there. My statement had two intentions. Teachers are paid too little and parents don't parent enough.
