Here's What McDonald's And Dunkin' Donuts Had To Say About Customers Bringing Guns Into Their Stores
Yahoo! Business ^ | 9/20/13 | Ashley Lutz

This week, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz caused a stir by asking customers to leave their guns at home. 

While Schultz stressed that customers who did legally bring guns into stores wouldn't be kicked out, the comments offended a lot of people

We asked two Starbucks competitors, McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts, if they had gun policies for their thousands of restaurants.

Both companies said they simply abide by the laws of that state or region.

The perp must have been new to the Waffle House experience. I couldn’t tell from the story if he survived, but I bet he won’t wave a gun in The House again.

I remember when I was a kid growing up on Long Island, NY.

My parents, my sister and myself drove on a family vacation to Florida.

While we were in Florida, we stopped at a restaurant with an “Old West” theme.

A waitress came to the table dressed as a cowgirl, with six-shooters on her hips. She came to our table, pulled both guns out of her holsters, and pointed them at us, and asked us if we were ready to order. I think the guns were toy guns.

My parents, especially my mother, were a bit taken aback, but I was a small kid and I thought it was cool. I don’t remember anything about the food. This was in the 1960’s.

I think you can anticipate less drama at Waffle House between midnight and 4 AM than at Starbucks any time of day. Usually working folk who have odd shifts, travelers needing a break, or kids not quite ready to go home yet. It’s all good.

If they have a jukebox, put in a dollar or two and play all of the Waffle House songs. The waitresses love that.

There must not be any George Webb’s in the south. Even in my travels around the rest of the country, I’ve never noticed one. I’ll have to google that.

As long as there is some Tabasco on the table, I’m in!

The McDonald’s spokesman is lying. There are signs forbidding guns at the McD’s in Wickenburg, AZ.

An individual franchisee's decision, maybe?

When I was younger it was at least once a weekend. I try to stay off the streets after 10pm until 5am now.

Looks like the locator shows nothing within the maximum choice of 250 miles from my zip code. If I find myself in Wisconsin, I’ll check them out.

What has 8 breasts and 26 teeth? The night shift at Waffle House.

Well, McDonalds, is still on the boycott list for signing the letter endorsing the Rat immigration “reform”.

Starbucks had the same policy until too many politically minded idiots used the store to fight a won-and-done issue by scaring customers. Allowance and cooperation didn’t work, so they opted for “take your sociopolitical props elsewhere”.

I have some fond memories of waffle houses in the wee hours.

I believe the statement in the article is incorrect. As I understand it, the head of Starbucks only asked that people not open carry and not hold open carry rallies in the stores. He said nothing of concealed carry. I think he is trying, maybe clumsily, to back his stores out of this political fight. I don’t know, I dont buy their coffee. I do walk past one in the front of the local grocery store several times a week. I’m usually armed, and that wont change.

I’ve had a mixed bag. Uneventful and entertaining most times. A few times I’ve felt like I was in a bad movie.

Buffalo Wild Wings derives over 51% of their money from alcohol, so in Texas, gun owners are barred from carrying anyway.

In northern Minnesota during deer hunting season many of the restaurants display “No knives allowed”. They cut the and destroy the padding on the chairs. Guns? Ok, leave the knife in the truck.
