Won’t be bringing my cash either.... Not that I ever did.
“Won’t be bringing my cash either.... Not that I ever did.”
That one sentence explains exactly why he said what he said. Gun owners/conservatives/gun rights supporters have never been Starbucks target audience. Urban and suburban liberals have always been Starbucks’ main source of revenue, and a handful of “Starbucks appreciation days” did not change that. If being perceived as gun friendly hurt them more with their liberal customers than it helped them with conservatives (likely, as I don’t know many conservatives who regularly pay absurd price for bad coffee), then this was a good business move.
