Keltyke,
I do carry regardless of the policy. That is the benefit of being a franchisee rather than an employee. I agree about political correctness, but bottom line is money talks and you know what walks. If the mommy sheep don't frequent my establishment because I openly carry, then why open a business? I'm here to make money... not make a statement. Besides, its better that corporate doesn't know so they can't give me heat.
Besides, I don't know where you buy your coffee, but a dollar won't get you a low-fat caramel macciato!
(unless my DM's gaurantee is worth about $3)
