Finally. A cheap and delicious way to check if you are covid.

A nice Dunkin Donuts iced coffee with a shot of espresso will do the trick for me!

Started developing a taste for it at 16. Hung out with some buddies and we would cruise "the strip" at night in Easton PA. Northampton St. We would stop at Dunkin' Donuts and I was the only one who would drink soda out of about 5 - 6 of us. Peer pressure ya know.

So I started to develop a taste for coffee by adding lots of sugar and cream to it. I eventually worked my way down to just one creamer and no sugar.

So now I'll have at least one iced coffee with an espresso shot a day and hot coffee in the morning and later at night. Since I'm on call 24hrs a day I have no regular sleeping pattern. I also drink cold Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey. Good stuff.

Maybe the rest of you were unaware of the facts of this case until you watched some video but I researched this story in the 90's so this video by Adam didn't tell me anything new and Adasm didn't ruin anything for me. I simply disagree with the emotional bias people seem to bring to the case. In my opinion there is one issue. Was McDonald's negligent in serving coffee at 180F. The answer regardless of botched testimony is no. The proof is in the fact that virtually all major vendors of coffee from Starbucks to Dunkin Donuts serve their coffee at that temperature to this day. The difference now is that they are more careful about warnings and labels to let their customers know that, you know, their coffee is hot.

They could have made a case that the cup was too fragile but that wasn't the problem. The woman even made a point of saying that she opened the cup away from herself to avoid spilling but spilled it anyways which to me indicates that she was aware of the risk.

Were the woman's injuries horrible. Yes. Was McDonald's response and testimony incredibly douchy? Yes. Does that in and of itself make them liable. No

And @enoch thanks for the link to the video I watched 3 years ago. You'll notice I didn't upvote that one either. You could have linked me to the documentary "Hot Coffee" that I watched 5 years ago. Here's a new one for you but maybe you've seen it.

Also, I may not be as much of a bleeding heart as you but no, not a sociopath.

Dunkin Donuts is a great example of local, cultural traditions superseding individual taste. They are so consistently shitty, but people flood there every day, en masse, around the clock, but every one of their products is objectively disgusting and sub-par compared to nearly every other product of a similar kind. It's amazing.

@Shepppard

Restaurants like to be next to one another so long as they are different products. It creates a "food destination". Preferably lack of availability or a restriction would prevent users that have a product that is very similar.

Ever notice how most retail developments only have one coffee shop or one sandwich shop? Retail users ask landlords for an exclusive use. For example, Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts will say they can be the only store that sells coffee in a shopping center. Another restaurant may serve coffee as an incidental use - that is it can't be the central part of their business. This makes it harder for a new user to enter an established market.

You seem to be fixated on peak capacity of sit down restaurants. Restaurants have to complete their own analysis of how much square footage to have to accommodate the heaviest dining times, but still cover their costs when seats sit empty. Each square foot adds to their cost.

This video is very accurate in describing how users evaluate and respond to competition within a market.

I have worked in commercial retail brokerage for the last 10 years with several national users - pharmacies, banks, restaurants, and general retail use.

As a final comment, users can and will move. People do not notice as much but retailers relocate when they must to stay competitive or to block another user from coming into a market.

A title like, "Dunkin' Donuts Employee Throws Hot Coffee On Robber" would both get more hits and be more informative.

Your video, Ticket paid with 137 origami pigs in Dunkin Donut boxes, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I AGREE! This has been one of the first things I've come to question since coming to this country. That and why they put soooo much cream cheese on your bagel at Dunkin Donuts. Seriously, WTF.

REMIND ME TO PROMOTE!!!

Are you talking to me, or talking to him...and furthermore, what are you even saying! I require specificity. Are you saying the Quran doesn't state those things? Are you saying he is taking them out of context? Just saying something doesn't make it so, you must plead the case. The whole point of this thread was to avoid group thing dynamics where you just state things carte blanche to resonate with your fellow minded friends and to engage with the core issue with specific, and perhaps, personal examples.


Since you seem to be on the edge of your seat let me elaborate:

"You (no, not you you, him you) have got a personal commentary which involves taking pictures meant or attached to a joke, a muslim quote from Abu-Darba Muhàmmad (III), who lived in 1618 and one from Tsafir Ibn Kathir, who lived in 1613 and whose thelogical statements are mildly controversial to state it kindly.

You (no, not you you, him you) then proceed to apply this almost 200 year old shematic and the de-contextualized "opinion" of a "muslim friend" onto the peaceful mayority of moderate muslims in the USA and elsewhere and finally end up knee-deep in the cesspool of ZE CULTURE WARS and fear-mongering, where building a house of worship is becoming an act of muslims showing off their religious penis because they are not allowed to have any friends.

I'm absolutely sorry I ever even doubted this man's objectivity and education. Remember, "it was in the minds of muslims ALL ALONG".

This entire debate has already achieved what media demagogues and fear-mongers on both sides of the fence wanted it to, regardless of whether the mosque is built or not.

Should have just built a &)§"&)§( dunkin donuts on ground zero and have it over with...

FRESH POTS! (currently finishing a large from Dunkin Donuts)

I love cats and don't laugh at me but I buy dunkin donuts coffee at costco...I think it's the cat's pajamas.

Actually McDonald's has the Dunkin Donuts of coffee while Dunkin' Donuts has the Cadillac of coffees...

Cadillac, however, does not make coffee

Rachel Ray, Dunkin Donuts, and one terrorist scarf would like to agree.

Uhh, Republicans already use the Internet. That's where the last two big right-wing lies started (the "Obama is a Muslim" and "Obama wasn't born in the US" lies, specifically).
If you count Sarah Palin as an unemployed blogger, she's the one who really gave the "death panel" lie wings, just by posting about it on her Facebook page.
The problem Republicans have isn't the media they use to propagate their message, it's what that message is.

Joe here, didn't even pay his taxes...so trying to peg him up, not really worth it, Joe The Ass - Lying shit. 'Average American' My arse. Owes taxes, not qualified as a plumber, and oh, not qualified for journalism either, but then neither is Michelle 'Dunkin Donuts Sponsors Terrorism' Malkin

*rant off

Dag, I think you and I were neighbors in SD back in the early 90s. I was there from Feb to May of 92. What a fun place to be: Mission Beach, Tijuana, Dunkin Donuts. Well, maybe not so much Dunkin Donuts, but SD is rad.
