Refused Service

I hear nothing but good things about Long's donuts.
I've never once heard anything negative about them.
I'm intrigued. I must have one!

Dunkin Donuts has very good coffee.

Why yes, they do.

 

[public servant]

A good friend of mine owns the Longs bakery stores. I have known him and the family for years. They do have the absolute best do-nuts in the city.

How does your friend feel about firearms in their establishments? Either OC or CC?

Oh, and tell them they should add a coffee pot.

Roger that. I requested Long's donuts instead of cake for my retirement party.
Talk about a win/win!

Back when everyone on here was all about going in and buying SB because they were 2A compliant, I was very supportive of them. Since then, the local manager made it pretty clear that his superiors were not interested in supporting local business and not considering using my cleaning service--never mind that their floors were/are hideous. I do not support them.

Frankly, I don't support very many box stores because of that. These corporately owned leeches are most happy to come to an area & run out the independent mom/pop locations. They will gladly take the local money, but heaven forbid support the local economy aside from providing a few minimum wage jobs.

Then, you can get us a special discount!?

I've never had any problems!
Just stares from a couple local Southport loons.

I like DD. I also enjoy going to Krispy Kreme.

Not to stir up a lot of nonsense here...but...I've been watching and reading this thread for the past few days with great interest.

OP - Either you are talking about a different Starbucks or you are completely full of crap and really should be ashamed of starting this thread. But since you clearly stated in another post:

The store on Pendleton Pike across from WalMart in Lawrence.

I think you are the latter.

The manager of that store - and the only female manager they have there currently - is the wife of one of my long time friends and colleagues and I've known both of them for almost 30 years. H (to use only the first initial of her name) has worked for Starbucks at that location for over 5 years and you stated that you talked to her in your post.

That would have been rather difficult since she has not been at work for going on 2 weeks due to a recent surgery and she certainly wasn't working at the time you claim that this happened.

Furthermore, she tells me that they are completely ambivalent to anyone carrying, open or concealed, unless you come in and start handling a firearm in a dangerous manner or do something else completely stupid. And so far as the police not being welcome there, she says they serve police from IMPD, Lawrence, Marion County and State and other departments all the time and have zero issues with them coming into the store.

Considering he is a gun guy I will have to ask. I CC there every visit. Never asked him.

In the hood on west 16th where the original store is I am not sure they would appreciate an AR slung on the shoulder......The woman would most likely freak out.........

Interesting. Werent they one of the feel-good companies several years ago that made big announcements that they were starting to buy local when they could? If so, looks like another one of their "on paper only" policies. I recall several big box companies that stated they were doing that to help be good neighbors.

Yup....2nd is on southport rd.

 

[ratames]

Yep, one in Southport and the original on west 16th street, just west of White River.

 

[churchmouse]

No but he has done some really neat cakes for us in the past....above and beyond.

 

[chezuki]

Al's Donuts in Plainfield used to rival Long's. They are still better than most, though quality has certainly declined under the new ownership.

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

Sooo...the OP was basically just busted for lying?
d'oh!

How was this supposed to end. This is the internet and you are not supposed to lie on the internet.
