Is it because there's no such thing as a $3 bill?

The current sound bite/bumper sticker is "different but accepted."

The pastor of my church always gives $2 bills to the fathers in the congregation, every Father's Day. Because that's what his father did. He didn't give 'em out this year. Maybe he found out.

I tried to get some $2 bills from the bank, but they were out. (As in, out of the bills, not out of the closet. At least, I think that's what they meant.) I only have one, which I use as a book mark. They're pretty cool, since they have the signing of the Declaration on them.

Can you still get $2 bills?

So, what is the consensus?

Given A Starbucks OC customer paying for a cup of Pike Place with a $2 bill, is he assumed to be doing so due to 2A, or due to some gay social custom?

Run your own test, pay with those deuces, hang around in the parking lot or alley and see if there is a response...

(No need to post your results.)

Nah, then he'd get all dependent and stuff. He'd probably start doing drugs and having illegitimate kids.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

There was a $tarbuck$ near the Crane plant in Lynnwood where we used to go get a cup of coffee just to get out of the madhouse for a few minutes. I wasn't open carrying because most employers tend to frown on that.

There is a Starbucks in Epping, NH, not too far from the Sig Sauer Academy ranges. I almost always open carry there when I'm taking a class at Sig simply because I am already dressed for the range and don't want to change just to get coffee.

Had some family business to attend to. Tried to fit in a stop but wasn't able to.

At the bank where I asked, they said they'd have some in on Monday. So there is apparently some demand for them.

Why, are you gay or somethin'?

So a thread about boycotting Starbucks has morphed into a thread about two bucks (instead of two does).

My the thread drift is strong in this one.

$2 bills are also popular at the strip clubs. Didn't know about the gays using them.

Ohhhh, now I get it. Two bucks. Funny.

So... Pink Pistols rally at Starbucks? Fistful is buying!

I'm not normally a Starbuck drinker but I stopped by after my bike ride this AM and ordered some lime cooler dealio, it was the least calorie item on the menu. I did like it, tasted a lot like a mojito. Might have to have one of those every now and then.

I didn't see any protesters outside and the car in front of me had an Obama sticker on it. I was so hoping to see the usual protester crowd that seems to hang out in front of any thing not Democrat with their crappily hand made signs.

I'm not surprised no protesters were at Starbucks. There would be nothing gained by protesting a company owned or franchised starbucks. Too few folks would know. When they got on all the network news stations they had already accomplished their goal.

In a brief discussion at a Dutch Bros. in Grant's Pass OR a few minutes ago, I was told company policy forbids employees working armed. *sigh*

We should take up our charity efforts to support Tim Horton's instead. We have one on base now, becoming a once a month addict. Good coffee and we get to understand the enemy.

I am not surprised; very few places will allow it. I doubt Starbucks allows its employees to carry.

How the heck did a Tim Horton's get built on a U.S. military base?

Probably via the Mideast. They have 27 in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Does anyone else think it's weird to have a coffee and doughnut chain named after the Prime Minister?
