A Starbucks Vaping Story

[Mozzer]

I was in a Vietnamese restaurant near Santa Rosa CA this weekend, and I had set my Ba Gua on the table. I hadn't taken any hits off it inside, I just set it on the table to keep it upright. The first thing the waitress said, before "hello", or asking what I wanted to drink, was, "What's that!?" all smiles. I explained what it was and demoed it for her. She said, "wow, smells great!". I had five pawns Gambit in it at the time. I didn't continue vaping in the restaurant, but only because I was busy eating, and I do believe in common courtesy. It would have been perfectly fine to do so in that particular restaurant, I think.

Wasn't exhaling plumes of vapor.
Being that i violated no laws how is that wrong?

Who wants to go to Dunkin' Donuts?

I drive a school bus, about 8 of us go to DD every day. manager always waves when we go in. when I sat down one day I held up my ego setup and he looked puzzled, I took a toot and made a baby cloud, he gave me 2 thumbs up. I do hold it in(until one of them makes me laugh), but don't hide my pv. my fellow drivers I sit with don't have problem either, and the one that does smoke has been talking to me about vaping. and a couple of employees too (we are in there for almost an hour)

I will make jokes and try to be clever, thanks. Here's an example:

Exterior, sunny afternoon. Close up on an 85yo black man, Martin, sipping a lemonade. Zooming out we discover him sitting on a park bench next to a 25 year old man, Steven. They have obviously been engaged in friendly conversation for awhile.

Martin: "...we couldn't use the same restrooms, couldn't go to the same schools, heck I got my head smashed in when I was 32 just for looking in a white woman's direction for a second. I....I lost...my father..."

Steven: "DUDE I know what you mean man. I was in a coffee shop the other day and pulled out my Provari, started to take a vape and this manager came over and asked me to stop. I was like BACK OFF ME MAN THIS AIN'T COMBUSTION BRO."

Pan close-up to Martin's face, utterly bewildered.

And scene.

Not so clever although you appear to have worked to make it so. The fact that you are unable to see the big picture is evidence of how dictatorships and oppressive movements have survived throughout history.

Should open up a vaping lounge with a REAL coffee shop in it. That's the ticket.

That's a very good idea.

walked thru walmart yesterday and didnt care to "hide" it. i puffed on it the whole shopping experiance, and either no one saw or no one cared. didnt get asked about it. it seemd kinda natural to me.

going to make this a habit in all public location i happen to be in. i will take note of what happens. it would be a nice social experiment.

Whether smoking outside harms others or not, most non-smokers just don't like the smell- hence part of the reason for the 25ft. bans.

I don't like the smell of cheap perfume. Maybe I can ask them to stand 25 ft from the door way.

There have already been restrictions on people wearing perfumes, colognes, scented deodorant and aftershave in offices.

Wow! Didn't see that coming. I hope you're just trollin with me.

I would much rather have a hamburger than a hot dog.

It is actually true. There was a case in Detroit several years ago where a woman complained about smelling others' perfumes, colognes, deodorants... She worked in a city building of some sort. If I remember correctly, she sued, won and employees were no longer to wear anything scented. I think she also got a 6 figure settlement. I'm sure there have been numerous cases since then.

Starbucks logic.......


Employee yells at you for vaping. ...... addict just OD'ed in the bathroom.

Of all the toxic chemicals lingering in detroit, perfume is what drove her off the cliff. It sucks that one thin skinned cry baby has to ruin everybody's fun.

I like this thread. Can we rename it the misses point-gets head snarked off vs. utterly random comments?



wait, lead paint, asbestos and hot dogs are bad for you?

Cases like this are why vaping will eventually be prohibited most places where smoking is. All it takes is a crybaby to file a lawsuit, and win.

Only if we can move to the front of the bus. It smells funny back here and the paint chips don't taste right.

Just stay upwind of Zug island and the air is pretty tolerable.
You have been here, right?

I willingly volunteered for the 'head snarked off' role. I proudly carry the title! 11000+ cigarettes unsmoked. Tell me I didn't earn it!

Fair enough!

Nope, never been to Detroit. I just figured all of the industrial chemicals would turn it into Chernobyl. Case and point, the insane clown posse is from detroit.

My home town was probably more toxic. It sucked in all of LA's smog and pollution.
