No comparison between a black coffee at Starbucks vs. the reconstituted bong water they serve at DD's.They also seem to speak fluent English at Starbucks.

That's because at SB, the people working need to understand more than 5 words to be able to take an order due to them making the beverage *exactly* the way you want it.

Not to mention the signs at every SB pick-up counter where they guarantee you're satisfied (I paraphrase): "Please taste your drink before leaving. If it is not perfect, let us know and we be sure to fix the problem and make you a new one."

I ordered a coffee at SB and it was horrible, the girl behind the counter said is everything ok, I said this is the most bitter coffee I've ever had.... She asked what type of coffee do I like, I said I just don't like a bitter after taste in my coffee. I handed her my already bought coffee that was full and she gave me a new coffee to try for free and after I sat down she came back with a coupon for a free coffee for my inconvenience...

Also she said, ask the people behind the counter and they will describe the best coffee for you

That's never happened at Dunkin Donuts!!!!

To bad it was in RI..... I'd go back there again...

You've just lost access to a pretty good fishing spot. And JohhnyD will never make it there after his comments.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I'm glad I gave one of those "keepers" to a waterfront neighbor of you cousins....

Johnny, don't worry I'll take you there....

Took the words right out of my mouth. Cleanliness at DD's is also a huge issue. You ever look at the uniforms on those kids and the floors in those places. I'm sure the coffee pots are just about as clean. Enjoy guys.
