The few Starbucks I ever visited were hangouts for radical libs and other undesirables, anyway. (Die, Yuppie scum!)
Maybe we should take a page out of ‘their’ playbook.
The Harris Teeter I use also has a starbucks. (I have informally ‘mentioned’ my dislike of starbucks in the store)
Maybe if all of us ‘like minded people’ sought out the store manager and pointed out that despite the presence of starbucks you like shopping there BUT that could change.
The only difference between us & them, we won’t picket outside the store or harrass people coming in - at least not violently.
I realize the store manager basically has NOTHING to do with whoever Corporate puts in there but if enough of them ‘mention it’ and it gets up to the guy that REALLY DEPENDS on the last penny of every dollar getting into his pocket, it may make a difference.
After all, HE/SHE is giving ‘them’ 99 cents to play with- just don’t mess with HIS/HER penny....
