The things not discussed on a forum but you hear about, are more and more people having problems that are traced back to today's processed foods.
On the original post, I went out of my way to get a bagel last fall at the Wolfeboro D&D and it was not a good experience.
I cannot see how D&D stays in business. They sell coffee for 3 times what we can make it at home for. Between a bagel and a coffee you can spend upwards of $5.00 a day, that is $150 a month on breakfast, or if you just get coffee your looking at around $60 a month. I did the math and bought a Keurig.
I use two K-cups to fill my mug and it costs me about $1.10 a day or $31 a month. No matter how you cut it that is an awful lot of money saved not to be lazy and have someone else make it for me.
Fast food exists to meet the demands of busy people. The convenience and instant gratification of going through a drive thru fit the hectic schedules many have. By ordering strategically, one can get fast food for equal to or less than the cost to make it at home.

K-cups would scare me if I owned a DD franchise!
