| Pro-Gun Orgs Asking For Starbucks 'Buy-cott' On Feb 14 |
| 2012-02-11 |
| The National Gun Victims Action Council has declared a Valentine's Day boycott of Starbucks to protest the coffee chain's support for American gun laws. The antis are planning a boycott. Let's counter with a BUYcott. On February 14, please make the effort to go to Starbucks and buy something. Don't like their coffee? Get a tea, a cocoa, a pastry, anything. Thank the clerk for Starbucks' support of the Constitution. (If possible) Pay with two dollar bills. Thomas Jefferson, Mr. Liberty himself. If Starbucks sees a huge influx of payment in two dollar bills, people in general, and Starbucks management in particular, are sure to notice. In addition to their regular menu, Starbucks also has a "secret menu" of things they will make on request. I'll put it in the comments. |

| #6 I'll take my best girlfriend to celebrate her birthday. She just discovered the joy of shooting guns -- despite her MS -- and loves to shock her fellow Jews by announcing that she got American citizenship so she could vote Republican. She even went up to Washington, DC on a TEA Party bus to lobby Congress a few weeks ago. She'll appreciate it properly. :-) |

| #5 Don't usually go to Starbucks. It's a block or so away from the office and the coffee in the office isn't all that bad. But maybe I'll take a walk on Valentine's Day. |

| #2 Folks could just switch to Caribou and other coffees. They might just find they like them. |

| #1 If you are going to do this, Starbucks has a “secret menu” that some or all stores will serve on request. Note that not all of their stores will serve all of these, may likely use other names for them, and will certainly charge a lot for them, so be sure to ask the price, first. Zebra Mocha (combination of white-chocolate and chocolate mocha) Red-Tux aka Bleeding Penguin (Mocha w/raspberry flavoring) Chocolate Dalmatian (java chips and chocolate chips to a white chocolate mocha) Raspberry Cheesecake (white chocolate mocha is added with a few shots of raspberry. Whipped cream and vanilla sprinkles are optional) Nutella (Cafe Misto with a shot of both chocolate and hazelnut syrup, along with a real drop of caramel) Three C's (Cinnamon Dolce latte + Caramel syrup + Chocolate mocha syrup) Short Cappuccino (Italian style. Less milk and a stronger flavor) Cafe au Lait (Misto without foam) Marble Mocha Macchiato (White mocha on the bottom with no whip, shot on the top and mocha drizzle) Short Drink (Just a small coffee) Cheapo (A double shot of espresso on ice with few packs of brown sugar) The Dirty Hippy (Chai Tea Latte with soy instead of regular milk) Dirty Chai (Chai latte (hot or iced) with a shot of espresso) Double Dirty or Extra Dirty (two shots) Widow Maker (Half iced black tea, half iced black coffee) London Fog (Earl Grey tea w/vanilla flavoring) Poor Man's Latte (An Iced Americano with no water and half ice and then add the half and half available at the milk and condiments table) Poor Man's Chai Latte (Chai Tea Misto with extra foam, two tea bags and half cinnamon-half vanilla syrup) Apple Juice Orange Blossom (Tazo Orange Blossom Tea steeped in steamed apple juice with no water) Red Eye (Coffee plus 1 shot of espresso) Black Eye (Coffee plus 2 shots of espresso) Green Eye (Coffee plus 3 shots of espresso) French Pressed Coffee (any coffee)(highly recommended) Frappuccinos: Affogato-Style (Order any Frappe "affogato-style" and you'll get a shot of hot espresso added on top of your drink as opposed to having it blended in) Banana Cream Pie (Vanilla Bean creme with vanilla and hazelnut syrups, whipped cream, and a whole banana) Biscotti Cake Batter Captain Crunch (hazelnut or toffee nut syrup in a Strawberries and Creme) Chocolate Cream Cinnamon Roll Cookies & Cream Crunch Berry Grasshopper (Mocha with java chips and peppermint syrup) Samoa (mocha coconut with caramel drizzle Snickers (Java Chip with two pumps of toffee nut and a caramel drizzle) Super Cream Thin Mint (Tazo Green Tea Creme with chocolate syrup and java chips) |
