Satrbuck's Appreciation Day August 9th

[navarre1095]

The only thread that I could find on this was dated 2010 so sorry if this is a duplicate.
August 9th 2013 is Starbucks Appreciation Day. Is anyone going to an Evansville starbuck's? Open Carry event possibly?

Better yet - inform them why you're there - I've been countering the MDA's and most Barista's don't understand what they (The MDA's) are doing and most don't agree with it from what I've run across. ... make sure they know. take a no gun = no money type card.

I wish there was a Starbucks close to me so that I could show my appreciation.
Nearest one is over 20 miles away.

As a Supervisor at Starbucks and a Lifetime CCW holder I am really glad I work for a company that supports the 2nd amendment!

Man would love to see the word get out about this, first I have heard of it. I don't drink coffee but I'll hit a Starbucks anyway on Friday. INstormChaser, I'm close to Carmel, which Starbucks is yours? I'll spend some money there.

anyone else notice that FB page is a clusterfark of a pissing contest? Well, more so than usual I mean.

I guess the mod just doesnt follow the left's methods of heavy editing, member/posting security controls, and swinging of the ban hammer. it took me a few minutes to figure out which side this page was really on due to all the derp posted by the opposition.

Serious question:

Do they necessarily support the 2A, or do they simply respect the laws of the state in which each particular store operates? Don't get me wrong, I support them either way. After all, respecting the rights of others, especially when you don't necessarily agree with them, is commendable.

I ask only because I thought I'd heard once that Starbucks, Inc. has said they don't take a stand either way, they just go with that state's laws. Looking to you for clarification. Thanks!

To be a little more specific this is exactly it, Starbucks, Inc. supports and respects all local and state laws. They believe its not their job to dictate certain things company-wide, like contradicting local laws. I should have clarified on that, instead of writing just a short statement that really probably made some people "?". But you are right, as a company, I love the fact that they support the rights of others, when I am pretty sure if I actually walked into corporate headquarters in Seattle and asked if they support the 2nd amendment, chances are I would get a big fat no. Kudos Starbucks.

I appreciate their stance, but is it OK to bring a nice cup of Folgers from home? :-)

Try their Blonde roast. Its MUCH better than their normal dark swill. Until I had that new flavor, I typically only drank things like Carmel Macchiatos or with lots of cream and sugar.

 

[Woodro29]

Anyone going to southside of Indy starbucks or Greenwood starbucks???

The meeting after the article on WTHR and then the day the article was on Fox about 2 weeks ago - the photos shown on FOX show 2 to 4 other "OUTSIDE" coffee's - clearly a McCafe for one of them. on the table in Starbucks. ... when I OC'd at the location of the last 'meeting' (that's what the Barista thought it was - not protest/petition drive; she rolled her eyes when Explained) - I only notice 1 generic drink.

Two words: Mocha Frappacino. Ok three, Grande Mocha Frapachino.

It's a life changing summertime experience if you haven't tried one yet.

I do all my regular coffee at home with my Keurig.

Starbucks is for everything else.

And yes, everyone who said Starbucks corporate policy is to follow state / local laws is correct.

Starbucks hasn't taken a position beyond saying they support / follow state laws on CC/OC. Which is more than good enough for me.

I'll be happy to meet you. PM sent.

Well although that'd be cheaper I suggest you buy at least one cup of coffee from them to show them your own support.

Yes. You really arent supporting them if all you do is show up and take up space their otherwise paying customers would.

Maybe thats part of what MDA is doing? A kind of "I dont support their current position so Im not going to give them any of my money" attitude. It would be kinda like PETA protesters outside of McDonalds going inside for a McSalad during their lunch break.

No - MDA is actually suggesting bringing in other coffee. I saw a McCafe in the one TV report photo, along with some others. Go Back to the Fox 59 article 2 weeks ago.

Classy.

Ok so lets all show up and buy coffee from Starbucks everytime MDA protests there.
