The new comer on the block is now Tim Horton's. Originally from Canada now owned my Wendy's I believe. A few years back Tim Hortons was found to be putting a drug into their coffee so to addict the drinkers. You'd drive by a Tim Hortens in the a.m before the doors opened and you would see lines of coffee "junkies" begging for the doors to open. They all $uck imo. Rather make my own and save some $$$.

Thats very intersting , cause MANY people I know who go to DD's refer to it as their "liquid Crack" fix, jokingly of course, but i wonder if they are adding something to the coffee. Its pretty much common knowledge that Mc Donalds for example intentionally adds Sugar to EVERYTHING even their salads, which you would not suspect, but its true.And dont even try to figure out whats in chicken nuggets. IMO,these big corporations are slowly but deliberately poisoning us. Watch the documentary Supersize Me, you may NEVER go to a fast food restaurant again in your life.
If you travel anywhere else in the world even third world countries,the food tastes so completely different(better),it makes you wonder what is really going on here.
sorry to go slightly off topic

What is it with coffee shop employyee's in general? When did this job become a status job that required a holier than thou attitude? It seems that the more you pay for your coffee the more attitude you get (Starbucks).

Just for fun, try screwing around with them when they start asking your name so they can "personalize" your cup

They're shocked that anyone wouldn't want their name on a "Lottabucks".

They won't do it for just a plain old overpriced cuppa joe, tho. You have to order the double grande latte or whatever the hell they call the $4 thingamajig

muffins @ dunkin dog-nuts

every time i go there and my dog is with me....

they try and give me a doughnut hole for my dog..
like thats healthy

but seriously twice now...both my wife and i have gotten ill from their
friggan muffins and think they must be using way to much bakers yeast or baking powder because we both get blown up from them and never will buy them ever again. Period.

as for coffee: i make taster's choice gourmet coffee in less than three minutes for about 25 cents per cup. the only time i buy DD's coffee is when i'm on the road and have no choice and would rather get their high test coffee than crash.

they offer my dog donut holes too, when I go through the drive through. WTF is with that??? Pisses me off. I tell them no and they look at me like I am abusing the dog. I do like the coffee, but I don't drink a ton of it because we just brew a big pot in the moring to save $$..
