Why not fighting over Dunkin Donuts? I like my XL black coffee every chance I get.

Their coffee sucks. That is pretty serious if the Cali chapter president was killed. Should probably see more of it in upcoming news. Yea.. cool. Biker gangs at coffee shops.

They must be trying to spite the police. Starbucks Vs. Dunkin' Donuts.

I say let them kill each other.

As comedian Hal Sparks put it: and while I’m on the subject-- We have to straighten this out forever. I only got one shot at it so we really need to focus. All right! For the record, Starbucks does not sell coffee. Starbucks sells milk-shakes! That’s not coffee they’re selling. Coffee is that s*** your dad used to drink gallons so he can stay awake at work and not falling into the machinery and he’ll live long enough to put you through school and he hold it under your nose when you’re 9 and you’re like 'C'mon, Dad! Do you drink that? What is that?’ THAT’S coffee!

I wouldn't even call it "coffee".
It's more like coffee shakes.

Starbucks does sell coffee. Not everyone buys it but you can still get real coffee there not just the overpriced "milkshakes". You can even get a shot of espresso.

Yes. Try one of the Bold blends instead of the Pike Place regular crap that they think everyone likes.
