According to a post by the Tempe Officers Association it's the Starbucks at Scottsdale Road and McKellips.

Wish I could boycott them again but I did that years ago.

This story is all over the national news now. Love it.

Tell the snowflake that for their peace of mind they can leave instead of the police. We're only thinking of you.

I do not like Starbucks but my wife does so I visit our local one quite often. 50% of the time there are multiple officers there and they do Cops with Coffee there as well.

But McKinney is not the city of the walking dead...aka Tempe.

Sharyl Attkisson editorial this morning. Rather than copy and paste her whole OpEd, I’ll provide a link. Sharyl, as you probably know, worked for CBS News and ultimately had to leave because she was practicing actual balanced journalism.

Tell the coffee-pourer that the other patrons -- the non-cops -- scare you and make you feel threatened and unsafe.

At this point I blame the cops for their choice for entering the commie coffee. They are a very well known enemy of America and our law enforcement so what did they expect?

This is the final straw for me. Starbucks is just too Woke and will NOT GET IT until they start closing down, which I think is coming.

I was never a big fan of their crappy, burnt coffee anyway but would get an occasional blonde roast or iced coffee and my wife was a pretty big customer but we are both going to cease going there from now on.

Maybe when their bottom line starts to get affected, they will wake up but I'm not holding my breath. We are OUT.

I have Police and Sheriffs stop a the Ranch for my coffee, even though a Starbucks is 5 miles away.
Coffee is better and they can shoot my metal targets...LOL

This has happened often enough that it should have been clear to upper management, long ago, that a corporate-wide edict needed to be issued. E.g.: "Thou shalt not diss law enforcement officers without due cause upon pain of prompt and unconditional dismissal. ``Due cause`` does not include such things as ``Somebody doesn't like cops.``"

That they haven't done so speaks volumes for the corporate attitude.

I never have been much of a *$'s customer. In fact I have a gift certificate around here, somewhere, that was given to me by my ex-employer 3-4 years ago I haven't gotten around to redeeming. Now I'm thinkin' maybe I'll just drop it in the shredder.

Yes, I know: That doesn't hurt *$'s, because they already have the money. But I just cannot get interested in redeeming the thing.

Imagine the nerve of those guys expecting to go into a coffee shop and not be tossed out. What were they thinking. I mean, sneaking into the heart of the enemy and expecting a little peace and tranquility for a few moments.

One Venti rebuke with a double shot of sarcasm coming right up.

Makes me want to buy a bunch of Starbucks $5.00 gift cards and pss them out to the homeless bums on the corners. I’ll be sure to tell each one that starbucks has nice bathrooms.

This makes me feel even better for dropping starbucks instant coffee (Costco). I just yesterday received my new Israeli Instant coffee I ordered (recommended by our own Gustofer). Superfine ground (just like the starbucks VIA brand). Tried it this morning, delicious.....

What is this Israeli coffee of which you speak? And I do like Black Rifle. My (liberal) daughter got me a sampler pack.

Elite instant (on amazon) Gustofers' post.
It's what I'm using now. from what I can tell it takes twice the physical amount as the Starbucks to make. But there is at least 4-5 times the physical amount that is in the Starbucks package I get from Costco for a similar price

Excellent idea!!

Since it relates, I'll post this here. I think these incidents are no longer a mistake. I believe it has become the mission of SJW Demotard Snowflakes who think they're oh so smart and inject their smug bullshit on police officers thinking they're some kind of champion in the eyes of Antifa or whatever group. They just need to go home to mommy's basement and shut their pieholes. Of course the officer was probably done a favor, since he avoided the ensuing quadruple bypass after eating there...

Restaurant Apologizes After Asking Officer To Leave Because He Had A Gun

What we know.

by Shelby Talcott

A restaurant in San Antonio, Texas, has apologized after asking a police officer to leave the premises because he was carrying a gun.

The officer was asked to leave Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse Saturday night because he was carrying a gun, KSAT reported. Texas law states that establishments can’t deny service to an officer or special investigator who is carrying a weapon on the premises, as long as they are authorized to carry the weapon.

The restaurant apologized to the San Antonio Police Department and the officer who was asked to leave, according to a statement.

“We sincerely apologize to the San Antonio Police Department and the officer in question for the incident that occurred at our restaurant last night,” the statement read according to KSTA. “Unfortunately, a member of our team made the wrong call. We are working hard to address and correct this unfortunate lapse in judgement.”

“We will address the policy internally and make sure our team members are clear. We support, respect and appreciate everything our law enforcement does to keep each and every one of us safe, day in and day out.”

People who saw the incident take place at the restaurant took their concerns to social media, KSAT reported. Detective Mike Helle, president of the San Antonio Police Officers’ Association, said that the restaurant did not act appropriately.

“They would have been in the right if it was just a private citizen carrying like that, but the law is very specific when it comes down to a police or peace officer,” Helle said, according to KSAT. “They kind of made a boo-boo on this one, and the officer could have held his ground but he didn’t because he didn’t want to cause a scene.”

After the apology was issued, Helle stated that this could be a learning situation to teach the public about state gun laws, Fox News reported.

“We thank the owners of Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse for acknowledging the mistake by one of their employees and for issuing a statement of support of San Antonio Police Officers,” said Helle. “While we hope this wasn’t an example of anti-police bias, at the very least this incident shows that public-serving establishments need to be better educated about state gun laws, particularly as they apply to Police Officers.”

So find the douchbag who tossed the officer out, arrest and charge him with violating state law and send him to jail. Publicize this.

Maybe more SJW idiots will think twice before doing this again.
