Yes, I'm talking about the ad the founder of Starbucks ran in today's Post and NYTimes in which he asks his customers to leave their guns at home, son, don't take your guns to Starbucks. (Sorry, briefly channeled Mr. Cash.)
No, I'm not upset by his position. The company can do anything they want, within the law. Personally although there's been some open-carry demonstrators around in VA, I've not seen anyone with a weapon except police. I don't think I particularly care one way or another--I don't go in bars which in my mind is where people, arms, and alcohol are a combustible mixture. Starbucks usually not so much, though I did see one very heated exchange between a customer and a clerk in my local Starbucks a year or so ago.
So if I don't care about guns, why do I call "shame"?
Because the letter is printed in monospaced type, probably elite. And I've a personal peeve against such type: it's less legible than a good variable spaced typeface and with modern technology there's not a reason in the world to stick with elite, or pica.
