Fresh Thyme - No Beretta M9/92FS

[TheSpark]

They just opened one of those in fort wayne. I wonder if they have the sign as well. I'd almost be willing to confront them about the Illinois code cited. Guessing they wouldn't care though.

I'm fine to carry there, my EDC is US made, locally bought, and 100% fat/cholesterol free! I would claim Organic, but don't have the $$$ to fund a lobbyist...

Carbon, steel, wood, lead, brass, copper and nitrocellulose are all natural, so, unless you're packing plastic, it is all natural.

1. They are based in IL and therefore use the same vendor for all stickers company wide as they project their Chicago-centric wishes/assumptions (if its illegal here, its illegal everywhere, right?)

Kirk's First Law of the Internet rears its ugly head yet again.

Organic is so 2013. Now your gun has to be guten-free, people! Think Paleo!

Need to replace it with this one. I wonder how many people would actually stop and read what it says.

Carbon, steel, wood, lead, brass, copper and nitrocellulose are all natural, so, unless you're packing plastic, it is all natural.

And plastics are products/byproducts of oil and oil production... And oil is, of course, a naturally occurring substance...

It would be fun to place that next to a no gun sign. Unfortunately few would read. People just don't read signs on their way into stores.

Looks like I'll keep my M9 in the safe, which is where it is most of the time. Guess I'll just carry my H&K USP .45, better gun anyway !

 

[indytechnerd]

I've been in there several times, carried everytime. I need to stop in tomorrow and get a few things. I may just OC and see what happens.

 

[HoughMade]

I'm glad to hear it's only Beretta M9s and 92s 'cause I was gonna carry a Taurus PT 92....wait......dammit.

The store in Fort Wayne has that same sticker in the window. My wife and I went in when it opened to look around unless you are looking for bulk granola and trail mix the prices are not any better than any other store. I had my PX4 on when we went in and no one said anything to me so it must just be the 92 they don't like.

One of these stores just opened near my office and I was curious what they were "about". Looks like they may be more fluff than "fresh" anyway.

from their website: overflowing with fruits and vegetables, fresh from the farm, often locally grown and much of it organic. We’re so passionate about produce that we’ve made it the nucleus of the store, ensuring the bounty of fruits and vegetables is visible from all other departments.


Nothing there with any real definition that indicates more fresh or more local than anyone else. If they have a no-firearms sign, I'll definitely go to the nearby Kroger instead.

I have shopped at the one in Greenwood, before they put the sign up. They have a way better produce section that Trader Joes, great fresh made sausage, and the a fore mentioned bulk items.
Not sure if I will return now, or not.. I can't personally ask the Manager about the sign, since my employer has an account with them..

 

[hoosierdoc]

Anyone know about Earth Fare? Fresh Thyme is neat but pricey on some things.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

No sign that I have witnessed in the Lafayette store but even if there were I don't think anyone would see it.

They put it up because corporate says to put it up even though this is not Illinois. It's like a Zig Ziglar story.

Earth Fare seems to be a little higher price wise, not sure about their Gun policy here, but I found this online..

I can not imagine that their produce section could be any better than Strack and VanTil in Highland. I OC there all the time and aside from one customer questioning me once I've had no bad experiences. I have talked to managers and and other employees many times.

 

[Falconpuch]

Well crap, If my 92fs is not allowed to go in there, then.... burn!!

 

[chezuki]

For anyone who's not been, they have a silly way of stacking that creates a fun game of Jenga should you want to check out anything but the very top piece of produce. I actually asked a guy about it who was meticulously stocking oranges. He said catastrophic avalanches occur daily.

 

[dusty88]

Wow those stacks are way too neat for your average retail crowd.

It's a good thing we aren't the equal of MDA, or we would be in there threatening to regularly pull out the bottom pepper until they remove their "no guns" sign.
