I asked her if she knew there was a boycott today, and she said yes and looked nervous....then was VERY surprised when I told her that we never come to Starbucks, but were there today solely as a protest of the boycott and in appreciation of Starbucks' stance. She was gratified and said that it had been extra busy all day.

*Score*

Sounds like the boycott idea totally backfired....

The red velvet whoopie pies didn't survive long enough to make it into the picture, but the kids loved the hot chocolate, the missus liked her caramel macchiato, and I tanked up on decaf.

I am forever grateful to 74novaman for a act of kindness in response to a complete strangers request.


Huge Thank you goes out to 74novaman, who took the time and effort to drive in to Killeen today...

My Lovely wife of 22 years received a Special cup of coffee from me in Afghanistan vie long distance remote control, on the day of Valentines. I got to make her smile on a special day, couples normally share together.

That the "gift" came from a company who supports our constitutional right to bare arms is a huge helping of icing on the cake.

74novaman, you wouldn't take my money, but you forever have my respect.
