    McD has McCafes in BsAs for some years now, they serve expressos, capuccinos, etc ( pretty good ) also iced coffee drinks, cakes, pastries. They have been pretty successful and nowadays 75% of all McD have one of those ( they actually replaced the kids area with Mc Cafes )

      I wouldn't patronize either of those chains. McDonalds serves horrible fat laden, greasy poison that gives you the shits and Starbucks is overpriced and arrogant, and a total waste of time and money. Eat some healthy food for lunch at home and make your own coffee or tea for pennies instead of wasting money at these places.

        If by different class you mean pretentious and full of shit, I agree.

          Maybe its how you approach them, I always found very friendly people to work at Starbucks. Also how can they be full of shit? Your asking for a cup of coffee. lol

            Starbucks doesn't really have the best coffee in town. They just serve pretty classy one. And oh with those people who sit there with laptops? They don't actually work -- they just find it to be one of classy hang-outs! lol

                    Starbucks coffee has gotten progressively worse and worse over the past year. I've stopped going there at all. When I don't make it at home, I'm picking a cup up from DD. We have 1 McCafe here and they have tasty and healthy wraps. I haven't tried their coffee yet though.

                        Start off by using fresh beans and grind them yourself. Then use different flavors and create your own blends.

                                    Just wait until Tim Horton's starts building stores. We've got one spot where they have 3 within 1 mile of each other.

                                    Edit: Just saw someone mention it above me too. Wendy's owns the US franchise rights.

Many McDonald's also have indoor playgrounds for the kidlets which equals near free baby sitting while stay at home working mommy does her online business and sipping coffee all day. Then before you say it they do offer healthy choices now for kids like juices and stuff.

I never claimed to be an editor and if you can not find something better to criticize or better yet attempt to comprehend something that if read more than once, or even once by most they would understand what I meant.

                                            By the way if you notice I also said McDonald's often have wifi as well, it is obvious I am not saying starbucks does not.

                                              So you aren't saying that the perk is wifi, but rather a play spot for kids?

                                                The only way to make a decent cup of coffee besides espresso:

                                                4 5 zero - 2 2 - nine nine nine

                                                  Yes, it has a place for work from home moms to dump their kids where starbucks really does not. Aside from the ones in barnes and nobels and that assumes your kids like hearing stories or reading.

                                                      Grinding does make a difference. My friend got two as a gift, gave me one and it was the best thing I ever got. The coffee fresh ground is very yummy.

                                                        Try adding hot water to it, makes it even better.

                                                          which award? the one from the Society of People Without Taste Buds?

                                                          I don't give a shit about awards. I don't think anything is good or bad based on awards. Who here only sees movies that have won academy awards? Awards all almost always biased in some form anyways.

                                                                Yup stay on it. Keep beating a dead horse. I explained myself already. Sometimes I really am concerned with how you manage in the real world without proper English, typo's, and slightly possible miss information. Lastly for the love of gawd do not get a GPS or use Google maps as they sometimes lead you to roads that are either closed or well not usable.

                                                                        I used to work well with you when you were with mogul until well that all went belly up and then from that point even though I do not know how it ended for you I was eating a shit stick and not once did I hold it against you. Though ever since then you have seemed to be all up in my shit anytime I make a mistake at all. I have never been against working with you though I do not need hosting and honestly aside from press releases I have no idea what you else you even do. Though instead of even trying to see if there is someway we both could make some money, instead you publicly say shit like you will live longer than me and pick apart grammatical and spelling errors.

                                                                        PS. I also forgot you do some additional work for JFK to help cover fubar.

That's what I drank in the military, that's what I drank when I was working in sales in Chicago and had to wake up every day at 5am and drive for three hours to a meeting in Indiana or Wisconsin, that's what I'll be drinking for the rest of my life and that's what I'll teach my sons to drink.

                                                                                Starbucks breakfast (all day) sandwiches are great, by the way, I love the egg florentine sandwich... yum, healthier choice than mcd by far.

                                                                                Tim Hortons is crap coffee by the way, only non-connoisseurs that don't get out much seem to like it.. it is super bland mild machine brewed weak and most often just a milk and sugar drink once people get their double double in it..... way over rated by dumb canadians that don't know any better.

                                                                                    something happened that hasn't before

                                                                                    I asked for an explanation, and she said that dry has less milk and more foam, so I ordered "in between"

                                                                                    it was really good

                                                                                      pPease do not refer to going to either of these establishments as an "experience". Such a word should be reserved for activities like viewing art, listening to music, or taking in a live show...things of that nature. Going to a store is not an experience, it is buying shit (in this case over priced coffee or fat laden meals).

                                                                                      But I do agree, they are two completely different entities and should not even be thinking of competing for the same audience in my opinion.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
