Skip Starbucks Saturday

Some thing poetic about stopping in at Ms. Watts local Starbucks

 

[MrsGungho]

I have to work a few hours on Saturday morning...

Will anyone be at the Irvington or Greenwood (SVR / Main St) stores about 11:00ish?

I can be in irvington @ 11ish, drop me a line if you want to meet

Thank you for saying "non-stance." A company should be allowed to be neutral on something when all they want to do is get by like everyone else. They're there to make money, not make a political statement.

to me, following state laws is a non-stance.

I may not have as much money or "pull" as Miss Watts, but I will never give up the fight to keep her down

The other day, I was looking up the group on the internet. There is a donate area. They are also for profit. I wonder how much of the money donated goes to administrative costs (aka, paying her and her friends) versus money being spent on the cause.

We will be at the Starbucks in Avon, or maybe Plainfield. I dunno, one of those. If SMAMATSA (Soccer Moms And Mayors Against The Second Amendment) says "boycott Starbucks", I say "make it a grande or a venti or whatever the biggest coffee you got is with a big muffin!!" Maybe a scone??

Did you shower afterwards?

It is hard to tell how they really feel about gun owners.

That had much more to do with management not wanting their store to be the epicenter of nastiness - rather than a reflection on their corporate stance.

If I knew there was a high liklihood of a mini-riot on a specific day at MY store - I'd close, too, no matter what side of the argument I'd be on. Self preservation.

Tried to PM me but your inbox is full!

I can't guarantee any time/s that I'll be done with my work on Saturday morning.

It sometimes ranges anywhere between 2.5 hours and 4 hours long - depending on myriad factors.

So... I think there's good chance that any of my patronage to a $5-Bucks tomorrow will be more of a "stop in when I'm done" type of a thing.

Should organize a meet at the most likely place(s) to run into these buffoons. Perhaps the Zionsville Starbucks.

I've had more than my share of coffee this week (it's been a long one for me) but I'd try to meet at one.

they have great ice tea and hot chocolate and muffins and lots of things not coffee.

Not trying to sway you, but giving you options

Well, I would rather have my eyes opened by Starbucks coffee, no matter how bad it is, then the method used in your avatar!

IMO, it seems that MothersDemandAction is staying on target with Starbucks trying to get their first notch on their barrel?

 

[hooky]

Aren't they already boycotting Starbucks? If you're boycotting something, isn't the Skip a Day an unneeded redundancy?

It's like a vegan saying he's not going to order a steak on Saturday.

They're basically admitting that the boycott isn't working.

go the head of the class and thank you.

I wish I could bury my head in the sand and just live on emotion. I chose to open my eyes and see the real world.


pudly and I are meeting in Irvington @ 11am. That's Washington & Audobon.

Anyone can make a statement, but it means nothing if you don't back it up with data. She makes the broad statement, "We're just not safe there anymore". Where's the data to support that claim? Are Starbucks Coffee shops currently seeing a rise in shootings? No. Are there suddenly dozens of accidental discharges at Starbucks shops? No. Are Starbucks shops statistically more likely to be robbed or involved in homicides? No.

By the way, any business has the right to make a rule to ban firearms, knives, baseball bats, or anything else from their property. That's everyone's right. Why pick on Starbucks. Lots of companies make no policies that differ from local and state laws. In fact, most businesses are that way.

When exactly did common sense die?

When exactly did common sense die?

Probably with the tail end of the baby boomer generation and with many of the offspring of that generation.

There is good reason why the G.I. generation is called the "Greatest Generation".
