Yep, no more starbucks for me. I can be perfectly happy with my Keurig right in my own kitchen.

Meh, heck with them. Dutch Brothers is much better anyway.

vaping has nothing to do with why I don't go to Starbucks, I can't stand their coffee!

Tell ya a funny one tho', electronicstix/Layton store is right next to Starbucks, so the entrance to ENS is less than 25 ft from Starbucks I will make a point of vaping my way along the walk next time I go to ENS.

Doesnt everyone want the privilege of paying way too much for their coffee and be told they cant vape as well if they want to continue paying to much for their coffee? Got some news for Starbucks....there is better coffee elsewhere for less money...

I've seen this ban at some Starbuck's for some time now. It might have been just a suggestion by Starbuck's at first and now is mandatory. It's doesn't affect me because I don't like their coffee but I don't like it just the same.

I would boycott them...but I don't drink ANY coffee.

 

[YoTone]

oh noes, anyone else got a suggestion on where i can vape and spend $5 on a single coffee?

That is what I always thought was crazy. People gripe about spending too much with a $5/pack/per day smoking habit but then have zero issue dropping $5 or more per coffee once if not twice every day. A $5/day habit is a $5/day habit...price wise. Then again I have a friend that used to have a VERY expensive Shipley's habit.

This is where I disagree with some. I don't mind a business deciding for themselves what they will or will not allow.
I disagree with a minority group or govt telling all businesses what they should and should not do however. At the same time,
Starbucks can only control what happens on their own property, and not off property. I don't buy their over priced coffee anyway.
