Freep a poll! (AOL.Can't bring your gun to Starbucks, will you still bring your business?)

The ubiquitous coffee chain announced this week that it's asking patrons to stop bringing guns into its stores -- regardless of local gun laws. If you can't bring your gun to Starbucks, will you still bring your business there?

Yes, this is a reasonable request that aims to ensure the safety of employees and customers.

No, even though it's not an official mandate, the concept tramples all over the Second Amendment.

Screw AOL and Starbucks.

I stopped going there because of their liberal politics a long time ago.

I haven’t entered Starbuck’s for about 8 years.

I’m a DD junkie.

I can’t remember the last time I was in a Starbux.

Me neither, but I can honestly freep the poll and tell them I won't go there because of their 2A stance (plus several other reasons).

FReeped.

I make every drink Starbucks makes in my kitchen. An espresso grinder, press, espresso maker, milk foamer, cocoa powder, and demura sugar gives me a cost for a mocha late' of about thirty five cents. The reusable thermal stainless steel travel cup cuts on waste if I'm taking it to go.

I also freeze all left over espresso and coffee in ice cube trays so I don't water down my iced drinks.

Their coffee sucks, just like their politics.

[Ramius]

What’s the problem? The owner said he would prefer that people didn’t bring guns in. But they haven’t made it policy, nor will they challenge anyone that does. They simply have no gun policy at all. Fair enough. I’d still wear mine in, and be polite about it. They would most probably never know. They don’t need to know.

Four minutes later it’s 55/45.

Is there a good, conservative alternative? I know Caribou Coffee is out; they’re an Arab-owned company.

I stopped going there because their coffee is horrible. Over-roasted

[kevao]

As far as I’m concerned, his store, his rules.

[Undecided 2012]

I only like my coffee black. Never been to a coffee shop. I can imagine though that I can get a large folgers for the price of 1 latte?

[wku man]

I don't patronize Starbucks, a CommieLib company from a hipster faggot city. IF I get coffee out, I give my business to Moxie Java, which is based here in Boise.

The vast majority of the time, though, I give my business to Mr. Coffee.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[digger48]

I stopped going the minute I first tasted the acetone crap they call coffee

[DiogenesLamp]

As far as I’m concerned, his store, his rules.

Your person, your protection against search.

[digger48]

I don’t think Starbucks coffee could actually freeze.

maybe gel up a bit.
