Maybe they are both coffee stores, probably on the west coast,it's just I'd never heard of neither one of them.

Peet's Coffee has stores on the west coast and I believe in Vegas. I would prefer Peet's over Starbucks for the flavor of coffee blend.

I have never heard of Tully's.

Hey the Free For All is coming around. We took a contentious political thread and made it whimsical.

There is hope for humanity!

Personally,I thought that was pretty low.

You need to tune your Obvious Rightwing Bullshit Email detector, it's clearly on the fritz.

Why is it every time I retune my Obvious Rightwing Bullshit Email detector it immediately forwards me to comments by Chilcoot?

It is good business to not alienate a segment of your customers. It sounds to me as if Starbucks is abiding by the local laws and others are trying to use Starbucks as a political pawn.

I'm not one to force my political or religious views on others, just my take on the situation with a helicopter view.

My gun nut friends all patronize Starbucks. Lots of businesses do not allow open carry as a store policy even if it's allowed by local law. Starbucks chooses to not have a restrictive policy and their policy is that whatever local law allows is allowed at their stores. This angers the gun grabbers. Therefore, Starbucks is adored by the gun nuts.

Either you're with us or against us.
