They opened a Dutch Bros. coffee shop by my house a couple of years ago.

I decided to give it a try one day. Pulled up to the speaker and ordered a coffee, black.

Silence on the speaker, then, you mean an Americano? No, black coffee.

Well, we don't have that here, sir.

WTF, man? It says "COFFEE" on your sign!  

Haven't been back.

I’m not a coffee drinker, but the wife is so I will grab it for her sometimes


Freaking Dutch bros and their mentality of being overly friendly.

It’s 7am on a Saturday, no my day isn’t going well, no I don’t have exciting plans for the rest of the day

They should realize you’re not going to be happy, until after you’ve had the coffee.

Get this...

Stop at McDonalds to get my guys some breakfast sandwiches this morning...Egg-Mc-this...Sausage-Mc-that...and the gentleman after me orders a "senior coffee"...and it's 95 cents...a small coffee...so, I think...let's try it..."senior coffee with 2 creamers, please"...95 cents. 

1st off, their coffee is pretty good...aka, It Doesn't Suck. 

2nd off, I haven't had a coffee for 95 cents...INCLUDING 7.25% SALES TAX!!!...in...well, I don't know...during the virus that shall not be named, I remember getting $1 coffees at McDonalds in Lone Pine...I'm thinking back in '21...? 

So...compared to the white-cup with the so-called green mermaid (I think she's a WITCH!) on it for...wait, what's a "short" goin' for at Corporate Coffee Incorporated? $2-3 plus you get the great attitude from the pink-haired barrisatawhatevers when you're wearing any sort of red hat (Red Bull TLD GasGas in my case!)🤣

Mickey D's has become my on the road go-to. Pretty good if you're a no-frills cheap coffee kind of guy. 7-11 has or had one called Kona blend they cycled through once in a while that was really good too, been a long time since I've even set foot in one though.

Really like Pilot/Flying J’s grinder coffee. The Colombian and Sumatra are really good. Know light roasts are stronger, but I prefer the taste of dark roast.
