Bingo. I don't know how they ever got the rep for good coffee in the first place. It might be "good" as compared to a Greek diner (even tho most diners still charge less than a buck for a 12 oz to go), but it's no better than a lot of mini-mart coffee.

You can get a 24 oz at 7-11 for less than a buck and a half. Plus, it's self serve and you can smell the pot before you pour to make sure it's fresh and hasn't been sitting for hours. And the guy at the counter doesn't expect a tip

I pass a DD with a drivethru every morning and the line is all the way out into the street. I'm thinking "suckers".

Years ago , DD was pretty decent. the coffe was good , so they changed it. The muffins were good, so they changed them. I think they suck. I'll never go there again.

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).
