It's a strange world when I find I'm glad that someone will just shut up and sell me food.

Shultz will shut his trap when an incident happens and his customers sue his a## for advertising a gun free zone, inviting trouble and putting is customers in danger.

“It’s a strange world when I find I’m glad that someone will just shut up and sell me food.”

Nice factoid - Dunkin sells a cheese bagel stick for somewhere south of $1.50. Great improvement on their usual sugar specials and, as you said, no Libtard Agenda.

Such a deal!

I go to Waffle House. If you don’t have a gun on you. They give you one at the door.

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

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

Correct answer.

From what I heard, Schulz basically got shot down by the laws here in Washington.

Open carry is legal here, and that applies to businesses offering services to the public.

Basically, if he has to serve Mocha-Grande-Latte-Whiz-Bangs to queers, he can’t discriminate against law-abiding open carry customers.

There are two Dunkin donuts near me. I love their coffee more than Starbucks. At certain times of the day I can always see local police getting their coffee fix with a sandwich or donut or some other yummy thing to eat. Yes, the cops have guns. Yes they get a served. No one notices or cares except small children who always ask “is that real”

I love Dunkin donuts.

It’s the loud mouth, in your face open carriers who caused all the stink at Starbucks. Is it (or should it be) your right to open carry? Absolutely. Does it advance your cause to pick a day to swarm an establishment just to rub the noses of the liberal patron’s noses in it? Not so much.

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.

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 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.

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.

If I owned Starbucks I would be worried about gun owners too. Their coffee has 2 1/2 times the caffeine than that of Dunkin Donuts. I would expect Starbucks customers to go over the edge way more often than those of Dunkin Donuts. Piss be on Starbucks.

Dunkin Donuts has begun to update their stores to adopt a more "Starbucksy" feel. I'm talking cushioned chairs around low tables, Wi-Fi and more glassed-in displays of exotic pastries. Soon will come the $5 fruit drinks and the $8 deli sandwiches (though DD does make on demand some pretty good hot egg/meat sandwiches.)

I've always preferred Dunkin Donuts to Starbucks because it has a more business-like and less-bohemian atmosphere. You can order your coffee drink in two syllables without sounding like a rube. Over at Starbucks, you have to wear sandals, sport a goatee and use five or more syllables to describe your drink in order to be accepted as a member of the cognescenti.

That said, I do have some guilty pleasures over at the Starbucks such as their pumpkin-based lattes.

Why would you have to bring a gun to Dunkin Donuts.....There’s always a cop there.
