Dunkin Donuts has very good coffee.

Just for the hell of it, I'll walk into the one next to my house tomorrow.

My wife and I just were discussing the same thing. Looks like SB just lost us as customers and several of my coworkers when I tell them about this.
Which SB was it?

The store on Pendleton Pike across from WalMart in Lawrence.

I am curious to see sales/profit statistics on Starbucks, since they "straddled the fence" on the gun debate. I imagine sales are down significantly.
The manager in the OP needs a reality check. Alienating your customers (for whatever reason) is only going to drive business away. Very poor practice.

Even when I was earning 6 figures, I could not see paying $5 to $8 for a cup of candy sweet coffee from Starbucks. Two cups a day times 180 days buys a Les Baer Premier and 1000 rounds of 230 gr hardball.

+1 on Dunkin' Donuts. Many gas stations are making pretty good coffee now.

Now that's just wrong. I have heard this kind of stuff goes on in Speedway. Naked coffee making and OCing*** Shoulder holster?

Not necessarily! Depending on the size of the gun and how badly you wanted to conceal it...

I don't know what their total sales are, but their stock performance has grown steadily over the last 3 months. I would bet that gun advocates like ourselves, are a very small part of their total profit margin.

The manager told us to never come back or we would be arrested. My wife stated how you going to do that since you don't allow LEOS in the store.

Bazinga.

What did the manager say to that?! LOL

Yeah it gets a little lite headed around here at times......................

Nope....No shoulder rig

Are you referring to the double butt-check CC method.........

Unfortunately my wife likes Starbucks, at least until today. This morning I reluctantly went to Starbucks CC'ing my Glock 19 with my wife. I had been in this store many time before both OC and CC. We walked in the store and while waiting in line the manager walked up to me and asked me to leave. I asked her why, she stated that she knows that I have carried in the past and per Starbucks new policy anyone carrying a firearm is prohibited from being on store property. I asked if the ban policy was new since Mr. Schultz stated that he was just asking that weapons not be brought in the store but did not out right ban weapons. She stated that they were instructed to not allow anyone including Law Enforcement in the store if anyone knew or had a suspicion the person was carrying a weapon, regardless whether OC or CC. My wife stated in a not so normal volume voice, that since she will not the customers to be protected from bad guys, especially in this neighborhood, she will not be back and that she should inform the customers that they are now in a gun free zone. just like the schools. The manager told us to never come back or we would be arrested. My wife stated how you going to do that since you don't allow LEOS in the store.

Are you sure this happened? Perhaps you have an agenda and this story helped support it?

 

[Expat]

You must have really made an impression on her previously for her to want to throw you out without knowing if you were carrying or not.
