I don’t care what Starbucks does..Buy your coffee at Duncan Donuts, where you can get fresh donuts.Even service stations have coffee machines that have better tasting coffee..
Besides doesn’t Starbucks contribute big time to the democrats.
FReeped, but it is going to take more.
Do you support Starbucks’ gun stance?
Yes 55% (899 votes)

It’s their business, but it’s my money. We both have choices to make, and consequences to face.
“...today we are respectfully requesting that customers no longer bring firearms into our stores or outdoor seating areas —
Starbucks can express their position on Guns all they want. It has no impact on the 2nd Amendment.
Besides doesn’t Starbucks contribute big time to the democrats.*
I'm done with Starbucks. The promote the Socialist Global Warming Hoax and they came out with the pro-atheist cups a couple months ago.
Save 3 bucks and go to a donut shop for coffee.
Perhaps Starbucks is hoping to sacrifice a few of their customers by letting the (usually Leftist) mass shooters come into another almost gun free zone. Then they can complain about guns and how we need more gun control.

IN the largest town in Central Louisiana, there exists TWO, count ‘em, TWO Starbucks coffee shops.
I do NOT agree with the CEO of Starbuck’s point-of-view on The Second Amendment, and on his request, to “park your gun at the door”.
NOW, that being said, both of these coffee shops are housed WITHIN SUPERMARKETS!! One is within the Kroger chain supermarket, the other is within the Albertson’s chain supermarket.
Having called each of them, they both stated that the supermarket owns that particular Starbucks.
Hmph, well, since Kroger only carries one shelf item, in all of the local area, that I enjoy, I just might be making a bulk order online, instead.
Same thing with Albertson’s.
From my location, it is an hour’s ride, between two city buses, just to get to the store, and again, so to return home. Cabfare is about $25 each way.
YES 49% (920 votes)
NO 51% (962 votes

No 52%
There’s also THIS story in the LA Times this morning (heard about it on the radio, I canceled my subscription to the LAT over a decade ago) — yet another SOB STORY about an illegal alien who gave birth, after fertility treatments — paid for by a doctor — to sextuplets in a U.S. hospital:
“It was the summer of 2004, and Gabriela’s belly was heaving on her 30th day of bed rest at UC San Diego Medical Center. Benigno, her house-painter husband, held her hand as a team of 40 doctors and nurses gathered in the delivery room.
Gabriela, then 24, suffered from a hormonal imbalance, polycystic ovary syndrome, that prevented her eggs from being fertilized. Fertility pills hadn’t worked so she started taking hormone injections.”
They were too expensive for immigrants like Gabriela and Benigno, then 32, who were in the country illegally; Benigno for 10 years; Gabriela, four. Their doctor, Johanna Archer, paid for the treatment. “I felt they deserved the chance to have a child,’ she said.”
INFURIATING!!

This is just so much BS. If the CEO is serious, all he has to do is take some of his enormous profits and put “No Firearms” stickers on the stores.
Instead, he tries to have it both ways by whining about guns in his stores but not doing anything about it. All that does is just anger people on both sides of the 2A argument.
The thing is now the criminals will know there is no guns around SB..Lets see how many stores get robbed or even people get killed..nothing to stop the savages
55 no
It is a private establishment, so I support their choice, doesn’t mean I will patronize them, but they have the right to make this decision. Of course they are unable to make the same decision as to whether or not to permit smoking in their establishment.
