I don't (at the moment) have a reason to go into Jared (The Jewelry Store) but it's somewhere I'm not allowed to go with a CHL and I don't like that idea. I don't frequent Starbucks often unless my girlfriend wants a drink but I'd like the freedom to walk into their establishment armed.marksiwel wrote: I dont drink Caffeine so it doesn't effect me at all
Jared will rip you off Six Ways to Sunday anyways.karl wrote:I don't (at the moment) have a reason to go into Jared (The Jewelry Store) but it's somewhere I'm not allowed to go with a CHL and I don't like that idea.

I have been a long time fan of Starbucks and until now have consumed at least a pound of ground coffee a week and several cups purchased at my local locations. I also know from recnet research I have been involved in that Starbucks is concerned about its market share.
I am not in Wyoming but this apparent trend is disturbing. It is for that reason that I am discontinuing patronage of Starbucks in all forms and advising all that I can to do the same.
Thank you for your interest,

Now, I think I'll go buy a pound of Kenyan.
You may have wanted to SPECIFY WHICH TREND is disturbing. Corporate said there is no policy, and the local manager said otherwise. I almost thought you were saying that OC was disturbing...Dragonfighter wrote:marksiwel wrote: I dont have a laptop and I got a wife, but I guess that works tooThat's twice today; people at work are beginning to wonder what I'm reading.
Added in edit: Just sent them this short and sweet note.

I recently wrote a note announcing my displeasure with Starbucks' bias against the legal carry of firearms in their locations and my discontinuance of any kind of patronage. I saw this as part of the pervasive movement that would see the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution eliminated and decided as much as I liked the products I could no longer in good conscience support it.
I see now that this statement of "corporate policy" was the actions of a single store's misinformed manager. I hope you will accept my apology and know that I will continue to buy and use your fine coffees.
Thank You,
