To get the good kind of latte you need one of the pump machines that cost $500-$2000. And granted, it wouldn't be <i>that</i> long before it paid for itself, I'd still miss the Dunkin runs when at work. And sometimes you just like having a cute high school girl make you a drink that isn't exactly what you asked for but it's cool I don't want to say anything and have her think I'm a jerk. Ya know? @woneffe I totally didn't think of that, but yes, it's true. No tips for the aforementioned high schoolers when using the card. Which also makes me feel bad because I very much appreciate the staff at the DD on First and Main in EG, they're by far the best coffee technicians I've come across in my many DD travels. I swear, there's nothing I appreciate more than keeping eye contact while I give you my entire order, rather than the "I start talking, they turn around and walk away while still listening to what I want" move. I hate that. @RK

Sucks for the perfectly wonderful Russian girls who serve me well every morning, but saves me probably 5 bucks a week. It doesn't really work, because when I'm paying cash I feel guilty and tip more.

If the resourcefullness can save some money to save away for a rainy day then so be it. :) I’m not a coffee person and the only two things I’d buy would be donuts and bagels so my question is this: Is there a reason why u just can’t save the money and make whatever you’re getting at DD at home?
