I came to the conclusion yesterday while standing in line to get a medium black, that for the most part D&D customers aint much better than the employees. As I'm standing behind two soccer moms ordering their Choco Moco Freakin Lattes who then wait until the coffees are in front of them to start scrounging their purse for "exact" change gabbing away about Christmas shopping. Pay with their exact change and then start scrounging for a tip to put in the jar on the counter and then ask if they have gift cards. They're told yes and then start a debate on who it would be a good gift for and how much they should spend on it. I turned around and left. Merry freakin Christmas. I went to Mary Lous.

The beatings will continue until morale improves

I think the kid meant that you could talk to him at the window rather than through the speaker. Was probably not busy.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

The other really distressing thing about Dunkin' is the styrofoam cups. They will still be in the land fill in 1000 years. That's a fact! Syrofoam just doesn't degrade quickly.

Starbucks uses paper cups that have a percentage of recycled material in them. The paper cups degrades in about 3 weeks.

No boat, back in the suds.

Talking tasters choice

is the other alternative....


they came out with their gourmet roast coffee again
mmmm mmm mmmmmmmm

and at about 25 cents per cup ...with chocolate rasberry
creamer it will save you a bundle over the pricey starbucks
brand... and then some... and man oh man..... is it GOOD !

and since your using a normal ceramic cup thats reusable
there's no worry about biodegradable materials.

Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks were both open on Christmas Day.


What a shame - remember when most things were closed on Sundays?....I know, wrong thread, ....but still sad imo-

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
