Perhaps my favorite, not directly related, if you pay cash for coffee, you might be a terrorist!

Yet another "non" event

That's a pretty cool gesture. Be curious to hear how many drinks you end up buying. :banana:

Was at the Oxbridge store from 745-830. Bought $30 worth of coffee and had many smiles and thank you's and a few good conversations.

No anti's showed, but the employees enjoyed the deal and laughed about the boycott. Business was busy as usual.

It's sad when you organize a boycott, and nobody doesn't show up!

Fixed it for TFred.

Well, no, that's the point... if a boycott is successful, then nobody shows up to buy coffee... hence the use of the double negative...

But it loses all its fun if you have to explain it!

Missed the irony intended - sorry.

The Monthly dinner is tonight so we're leaving early and stopping at a Starbucks in Soccer Mom Central on the way.

Landstown Commons in Virginia Beach was apparently not effected by the boycott. At 0730 this morning they were doing a BRISK business and either did not notice or did not care that I was OC. Neither did anybody else. I left a "GSL" sticker on the cup-insulator dispenser and then went down the road to the BWW and made a little photo op:

Cute pic but ....
Dude leaving that sticker there is totally uncool. It kinda makes gun supporters look like the asshats and not the other way around. Thanks :/

I guess I am the sultan of uncoolness then.

Thanks.

Purchased my cup-o-joe today on my way back from work... XDm on the hip. (No AR unfortunately )

I tipped the baristas and asked if they had heard about the protest from the anti-gun folks. He said yes, but business was as normal (if not busier). He said that a few of the people on the pro2a group already came in throughout the day.




Take that anti's!

Hey but you kinda care... that's progress!

Stopped by our local Starbucks for a large coffee and some goodies. Tipped the barista, but did not mention the boycott. They were pretty slow Hopefully I just missed the rush

Spent $5 on stuff. It was pretty busy. Granted, it's a college town. I doubt anybody cares either way about the "boycott".

I went to the Starbucks on Colley Ave in Norfolk. It was a non-event. I was OCing, and the Starbucks employee saw it quickly enough. I said that I appreciated that Starbucks follows state law concerning guns. I told him that I was putting $2 in the tip containing in recognition of the 2nd Amendment. If I understood correctly, I think that the employee was against guns, but I could be wrong. His wording was a bit cryptic.

This might come as a surprise, but Ghent is not known as a hotbed of 2A rights supporters. The mere sight of your firearm probably had him speaking in Tongues.

lol, "controversy" "came to a head". How dramatic.

Oh, and lol at Starbucks giving News 4 the same boilerplate letter they sent all of us. Funniest thing I've seen all week.
