Re: Starbucks on 2/14/12

I wonder if we'll ever hear anything about how Starbucks was affected on Valentine's day? It would be interesting to find out whether their revenues went up or down but I suspect that they will not publish anything about it.

Re: Starbucks on 2/14/12

Two "skinny mochas" and two breakfast wraps later, we are back from the Lewisville Starbucks. Even they had taken in other $2 bills before we got there. It is a statement that a small town like that in Texas would be getting support.

I wonder whether there were be any news coverage tonight or this week, one way or the other. Reading the many pro-gun blogs, it doesn't appear that the boycott is going to be very effective. There are some in Virginia OCing this morning, one of the big reasons for the boycott in the first place.

Re: Starbucks on 2/14/12

My wife and I are going to our local one. They are supposed to have a great breakfast sandwich.

I've been toying with the idea of leaving a letter to the manager. I suspect that, here in Texas, they may not even know that they are being boycotted that day. I cannot imagine that the group of lunatics responsible for calling the boycott has much clout in the Lewisville, TX area. While I'm happy to be part of helping their overall revenue stream for the day, I'd like to make sure they understand the whole scope of the thing.

Thoughts?

Where do they get this from? Really.
The answer is "any place they want." That's what I love about these folks (anti-guns and Liberals, many times one in the same.) They have a lot of words in their vocabulary. "Truth" is not among them. They can twist a shred for truth worse than the finally assembly in a pretzel factory.
