Back in September, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said this:
The brewing controversy reached the Starbucks board this summer, and this week Schultz announced a new policy: Henceforth Starbucks would respectfully ask that patrons not bring guns into its stores or into the seating areas adjacent to them.
“Everyone is welcome in our stores, but weapons are not,” is the official line. This is not a flat-out ban, as some restaurants and coffee chains are trying to impose, but a plea for understanding and restraint.”
Who would have guessed that this would happen?
Police Searching For Starbucks Robber
KKTV.com: Police are searching for a man who held up at Colorado Springs Starbucks Sunday morning.
Employees told officers that after the suspect walled in, he pulled out a gun and demanded money from the register. He left after employees gave him money. No one was injured.
The suspect is described as a black man in his early-to-mid 20s, slim and about 6 feet tall to 6-foot-2. He was dressed in all black. Police say he may have left the area in a black Subaru-style vehicle. The Starbucks is located on the 2900 block of South Academy.
If you have any information, you are asked to call police at 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.
Guess the perp didn’t get the message.
