I thought it was just good tasting coffee.

Well, it really isn't that, but at least it's really expensive.

You were saying ...

Isnt Starbucks still donating to anti gun groups?

I think you may be referring to some unsubstantiated e-mail that was circulating on the Internet... LOL...

Or perhaps it was another list that I saw with Starbucks' name on it, along with every company that exists in the United States, on it, too -- all being anti-gun... :-)

Aside from that, I don't know of anything substantiated... (and those weren't substantiated by any means...).

And Heck! You do know that Rush Limbaugh even has computers (that he considers to be absolutely wonderful) from a company that has Al Gore on the board... LOL...

Gun solvent tastes better’n that overpriced crap.

Do they even sell anything that DOESN’T taste like it’s been run through a monkeys butt?

Starbucks today! Apple Computer stores tomorrow!

Imagine walking into one of those with a .45 strapped to your thigh and asking for an iPad.

WELL let me clarify, I think it is good tasting coffee. You are more than welcome to think what you want.

I read somewhere that Washington CeaseFire’s Ralph Fascitelli isn’t even a Seattle native - he’s a recent East Coast transplant. Sent here to impose his fascist liberal views on the great unwashed Northwest. Carpetbagger.

Correction. It’s just an overpriced cup of coffee.

If they really are the type that have contempt for my values and spit on my way of life as soon as I’m not standing there, I’d rather spend my coffee money elsewhere.

Righteous comment!

Sooner or later big business is going to figure out that getting into bed with the left for the past 15 years was a big mistake. The demands never stop and if you don’t obey when they think they own you, they will hate you and harm you. Personally, I think Starbucks should be unionized./s/

I seem to remember that some time ago, Starbucks was getting heat (forgive the pun) about not letting their workers have a gun locked in their car in their parking lot—or some such.

If someone would change this campaign’s logo to replace “?” with “!”, we’d have something rather nifty to kick around.

Gosh I am another one who didn’t know Starbucks was liberal. I thought it was just good tasting coffee. (goodness)


Well, yes, Starbucks, as a corporate culture, is unrelentingly liberal, and no, their coffee isn't particularly good.

But it is really overpriced. I guess they have that going for them.

I manage a Starbucks Store. I am a Conservative. I have witnessed tolerance by the higher powers that exist for my beliefs, my faith, the organizations and causes I donate my personal time and money to. I wear a US Flag pin proudly each day. My customers are primarily conservative, except for a few fruitloops that have been in college for 10 years and still haven’t graduated.

The capture rate for my store remains high, and I will always seek to go above and beyond the “norm” to cultivate highly-satisfied customers.

I guess my point is that Starbucks and Schultz may be uber-liberal, but I still get to be me and I love my job. I truly enjoy my customers and look forward to seeing them stop by .

Most stores should be run in the exact fashion, where the customer is ALWAYS first, where Baristas get to know your name, remember your drink of choice, sincerely ask you how your day is going, and go above and beyond to get your order exactly right everytime.

Do you get that kind of feeling when your in your local Wal-Mart?

Do you really think WM cares about you? Or is it your almighty dollar?

I continue with my motto everyday...my associates are sick of hearing it. “It can take months to cultivate a highly satisfied customer and 5 minutes to lose one”.

oh...here’s a hint....if you aren’t satisfied with your beverage, tell your Barista. They should continue to make you a drink until you are satisfied. As for my store, we’ll throw away beverage after beverage until our customer is served a drink they are satisfied with.

ps..we have Fox News!!

“I don’t want to check out anything. To me and a lot of other people it is just a cup of coffee.”

...and Avatar is just another film. Conservatives still (for now) hold the money in this country. When we give that money to businesses (and people) that are against us, we see it come back to us in well-funded campaigns, like Obama’s. If we were as careful controlling where our money went (i.e., to conservative, or at least neutral, causes), the liberals would be defunded practically overnight, and we would not have to cower in fear while the 20% of the country that call themselves liberal exact their revenge on the 40% that call themselves conservative (and the remaining 40% in the middle).

And the next time an Avatar-like film comes out, we would get to see an enjoyable movie, rather than (yet again) be lectured at.

The important point here is that the disarm the law-abiding, Brady gun grabbers have a major problem with people having the right and the ability to defend themselves.

This isn’t about gun safety or ‘protecting the children’, for them it’s all about diminishing the power the citizens of this nation and nothing else, never forget that.
