Only people I know who drink Starbucks are already maga and won’t care. Most people I know just drink (gag) Dunkin. Theres no reasoning, it’s New England.
I think in New England, Dunkin is a blood type.
Yeah and it’s not great so I don’t even understand.
It's cheap and convenient, and feels better than gas station coffee.
Do Americans no longer have independent coffee shops and restaurants?? Is it all chains down there now?
Where I am we had one for about 6 months. There are a couple of shops, yes, but they are a drive. Dunkin has a store every mile.
Most do - even small towns do.
Starbucks is convenient and that's what they do.
Small stores don't usually have an app, have too few workers so it takes 5-15min to make the coffee or worse after whatever line.
If they ever figure out they can buy a whole ass bag of coffee and a dripper for the cost of 3-5 Starbucks and drink for a month... They'd still go to Starbucks.
There is but they're considered more of a sit down place. Big chains are successful because they have drivethru at convenient (expensive) locations.
