    You can also get a pretty decent cup o' Joe at Mickey D's these days. Cheap, too.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I think McDonalds's coffee is better than Starbucks and cheaper to boot. Some of the McDonalds I have been to are equipped with free WiFi; I stayed at a (horrendous) Red Roof in Rochester and they wanted to charge me daily for internet, but the McDonalds right next door had an open, free, broadband WiFi router. They encouraged customers to stay, have a breakfast and suck down their excellent coffee while working online. Same thing with one in VA at Wilderness.

    Their Cobb salad is excellent and, compared with the other usual offerings, very low in fat.

    Ah, McD's. At least they are consistent. A Big Mac in Tokyo is just as bad as the one you buy here.

    Yeah, it's not bad coffee. I actually don't mind stopping there for coffee over another place.

    I've been switching to McDonald's more often for remote work just for that reason. Starbucks and other coffee houses seemed to want to rush customers out, once they started getting popular.

    When my local McD started selling the new java I hit the jackpot. The staff was not aware of the new products yet. They were filling up the coffee cups with espresso, and selling it for $1.00. 4 shots for a dollar. That only lasted a month.

    Haven't had the one in Tokyo but so far, every cheese burger at every Mickey Dees is indeed exactly the same. Can't eat the stuff though and I was never a big fan but the times I did, even the sesame seeds were in exactly the same place on the bun.

    I don't know what's in their food but it makes me depressed and whatever it is there is a lot in it. More so than the average food at the store which I would use as a standard for background levels of whatever it is.

    Nah, they were just baiting the public and setting the hook!

    It worked. If I get drive thru java, it's the golden arches. I can go years without tasting the food though.

    Starbucks sells coffee?

    I know what they call that bitter sludge, but it's not coffee!
