One being a large amount of money in the bank. Not just net worth but actual money in the range of a half million. Anyone that can open a DD is not an average hard working Joe. jasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-34574659474527376832014-08-03T09:10:09.061-04:002014-08-03T09:10:09.061-04:00I just want to throw up now.

Use Dunkin Donuts when your favorite legit bakery is closed, oh wait, they closed to make room for DD and Starbucks so now there is only desperation and dispair. Their donuts are like everything else in this world, not as good as they used to be, but thats not stopping their amazing reproductive growth. I now live in the burbs where they are a similar phenomenon. Funny how living in the burbs gives me the same experience as New York now, but at a fraction of the cost. When will New Yorkers wake up to that fact? Maybe they can mull that thought over a spiced apple tea at their favorite Dunkin Donuts, you know, the one down the block from the other DD which is across the street from the other one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311328582267114916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-79327533515363493452014-07-30T15:29:29.327-04:002014-07-30T15:29:29.327-04:00Ugh, that's just what we need, more chain coff...Ugh, that's just what we need, more chain coffee/donut shops! How does Dunkin afford the absurd rents land lords ask for when kicking out existing (and usually better) tenants?? Or is it all a scam, they insist on some higher rent, remove the old business, and then give DD a better deal for no reason other than wanting to destroy the character of the bock further...BoFiSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-37693375077520702642014-07-30T14:01:29.380-04:002014-07-30T14:01:29.380-04:00Their coffee is weak and their donuts are awful.
