Any other coffee but Starbucks.
I’m sick of their Anti-American stance on everything.
I actually cut them off when they attacked the second amendment a few months ago.
Starbucks didn’t attack the 2nd Amendment, they got understandably annoyed at armed idiots using their stores to irritate & scare customers, and told them to stop in a way most sensible people (who are not wrapped up in the nuances of legality & protocol on the issue) would respond. If such people acted that way at my store, I’d get pissed off too. I’d not expect perfect finesse in handling the situation in either case.
Kudos to Starbucks for trying to hold a neutral position (to wit: “if it’s legal, we’re OK with it”) for as long as they did. A whole lotta activists TRYING to be annoying with weapons SUCCEEDED in being annoying with weapons, leading Starbucks to say “well, holding a neutral position isn’t working, so now we have to take sides and our side is ensuring our customers aren’t annoyed/scared by gun-flaunting idiots” and change their position accordingly.
And yes, there IS A DIFFERENCE between someone reasonably & discretely exercising open carry, vs activist jerks being “in your face” about open carry. If not for the latter, the former would still be officially welcome at Starbucks.
