Disclaimer: I have been ordered by some people at "star with money" that they do not differentiate between the folks at Corporate headquarters in Seattle and the baristas at the various coffee shop...in their words, we are family...(cue song) We are family...ye ye ye yeaaah, All the baristas are with meeeeeeeeee.....(Cue next song) All I want to drink is white mocha, but all you have is, Caramel Mocchiattoo.....back to my day job
Anyway, I was discussing coffee with some friends one day and people were talking about what they like about different brands 0f coffee. While I am a big fan of Caramel Mochiatto from Starbucks and that about the only drink I get there in addition to the White Mocha, I sometimes have to go to Dunkin Donuts when I dont have up to $5 in my pocket for a cup of coffee!!! (I believe we will all be drinking Starbucks one day after they buy up all the coffee shops) Anyway, I ended up saying to my regular DD drinking friend that DD is what you drink when you are broke and cannot afford Starbucks. Well, did I stir a hornets nest or what!!!! After the words snooty, bourgie and other well timed words to indicate how "I think I am better than those that drink DD," I had to eat my words.
Well, this morning (one of my many broke days), I just came out of DD where I went to get myself a straight forward Medium French Vanilla with a Boston Creme Donut. I stepped out of DD and there were two panhandlers outside of the Starbucks next door. As I walked out, they looked at me and one of them said hello and then not another word. As I continued walking, a guy came out of Starbucks and he was instantly mobbed for whatever extra quarter/money he may have for them.
Hmm, I thought to myself. These guys must have figured that there was no point asking my broke-ass self for money since I could not afford Starbucks and was buying DD. As a matter of fact, they did not ask any of us who came out of DD for anything.
If thats not proof that DD is a poor man's starbucks, then I am not sure what else could prove it.!!! I could be wrong but I am sticking to my story.
