Use a proxy.

If you have a server somewhere on the Internet, Remote Desktop to that server and then use the browser on the server to get wherever you want to go.

That is how I get here when at work. Wouldn't want the sheeple to know where I am browsing...
 
Each establishment will obviously have different policies which are enforced based on the people at the store.

That said, I won't patronize a chain which has an openly hostile stance against firearms, if I know about it. I just can't bring myself to do it. If the corporation gains financially by my patronage, and they actively discriminate against select civil liberties or "hot" topics, I won't be going in there.

Think of it this way: the corporation gains nothing by preventing access to anything, possibly with the exception of things like child porn. The only thing they will do is alienate people who want access to that material; people trying to access illegal material will say "oh well" and try elsewhere. It's basically a conscious "f*ck you" to people with those interests, whether legit or not. They offer "free" wifi to their customers, so they shouldn't discriminate. (Are they going to ban every jihadist web site? How about file sharing networks and sites like torrentspy.com? How about google.com, which assists people finding illegal, illicit, and otherwise "disagreeable" material?)

People find this behavior abhorrent from governments. It is. It should be equally abhorent from a "free agent" like a corporation which gains little to nothing by supporting such things. Unlike the government you live under, however, you've got much more choice in which companies you patronize. Keep that in mind...
 
Was this a Corporate Panara?

I see some posts calling this a "corporate policy" but do we know if this particular location was an actual corporate owned store as opposed to a franchise location? If this is a franchise, then I can't see blaming the corporation for the policies of a private owner. For those unfamiliar with franchises, a private franchisee is basically a private restaurant owner that basically pays the corporate headquarters to use their name and distribution channel. However, the franchise owner owner sets his or her own policies. If this was a corporate location, then I for one would boycott the chain.
 
So how does anyone know it is filled with Liberals? I used to work there and we had a lot of conservative people in my opinion.

I guess I would have to start with the question, what does a liberal look like?
 
Well, Tecumseh, going with the logic in this thread, if you want to know what a libreal looks like, all you need to do is look in the mirror because you worked at Panera!
 
To further irritate bogie I'll offer this for discussion:

There are no Paneras in my area. :)
 
Quizno's actually puts MEAT (and lots of it) on their sandwiches....

... after they run it through the dishwasher. Yuck.

I'm not trying to justify Panera blocking web access to gun related sites, but (if it is a corporate decision) I'll bet it's more of an attempt to restrict underage people, not censorship.

Besides, Panera is a *major* MILF-fest!
 
no way will i ever go to Panera, seeker knocked them stating a preference for Quizno's. Now quizno's tastes alright but I ain't paying ten bucks for lunch anywhere, liberals or conservatives aside.

And anyway, what does a liberal look like? what does a conservative look like?
What does a CCWer look like? I am soo confused now.

the heck with it I am sticking with a dollar menu and eating in the car.
