I'm not sure if he's conflating Burger King with Starbucks or Domino's but I'm interested to see where we go with this.

Seattle coffee is better than Starbucks... It's just science.

The Domino's here by us is completely overstaffed. They've got so many people working there that I honestly can't think what each of them are doing.

Yeah, muricans come here with their garbage thinking its the greatest thing around... little do they know, their 'best' is our 'worst'

I make better and cheaper coffee at home and Debonairs Pizza is superior.

Debonairs? Ewwww. There's lots of better pizza places than Domino's and Debonairs. If I had to pick between the two then I go for Domino's rather.

You have no taste-buds.

All their pizzas taste the same, all smothered in that disgusting BBQ sauce...

dominos is corn flour mess but the specials are great,, starbucks is just basically a big marketing exercise for those that have traveled overseas, and miss starbucks.

Starbucks coffee sucks. Seattle used to be my No. 1. Now it's been pushed into second place by Krispy Creme.

SA has far better coffee stores than Starbucks... Not surprised they're losing money.
