Like Guns and Coffee? Support Starbucks on August 9th

[Wreckless]

I don't drink coffee but I guess now is a good time to pick up some K-cups for the little lady.

I never made it out there today, partly logistics and partly weather.

4 observations about Starbucks and guns

Gun-rights activists are playing an obnoxious, unnecessary game. They have the right in most states to carry firearms openly. But the now-annual Starbucks Appreciation event is a gratuitous attempt to rile the portion of the populace made uncomfortable by open display of firearms.

Gun-control activists take the bait. In their eagerness to condemn gun ownership broadly -- as opposed to the social ills that flow from misuse of firearms -- gun-control activists reveal their condescension toward a part of American culture that is here to stay.

Just because it has a (reasonable) national policy doesn't mean that a well-run company should ignore special local concerns and adjust accordingly. Once again, bravo, Starbucks. A company that sells cappuccino doesn't bear responsibility for resolving an ideological clash as fierce as the one over gun ownership.

I got mine the other day and paid with $2 bills. The girl behind the counter was clueless about the whole issue when I mentioned it to her. I had to explain the purpose of the $2 bill as well.

She actually seemed somewhat interested, but it was in Mt Airy, not like I was talking to a MoCo lib

I didn't see a point in bringing it up. The employees are just doing their thing.

I did send a thank-you message to Starbucks corporate though.

Stupid question... Why did you use $2 bills? Because it features Jefferson and his role in the COTUS?
