The everyday ripoff

Your paper had an article recently about rather

    mysterious variations in the price of Dunkin Donuts coffee.

    A cup of Dunkin's coffee is a cup of Dunkin's coffee wherever

    you buy it. Where I buy it I noticed the higher price AND

    the poorer QUALITY. After sipping the morning brew, I wanted

    to complain : " There's no coffee in my coffee! " And that

    is just as bad as Burger King  hamburgers - when there is

    no hamburger in your burger and no FRENCH in the fries !

            A good cup of coffee - the way Dunkin's use to be-

    has a strong aroma and very definite coffee taste - not

    like brown dishwater.

            But the coffee was even worse at the legendary

    " Haven Brothers " across from Providence City Hall.

    Yuck ! Try that on Uncle Raymond in his prime.

             That same afternoon there was no  HOT WATER in

    the HOT WATER WASH at the local laundry. And the

    meatballs in my  meatball sandwich at " Subway "  were

    as big as golf balls - and about as hard.

          My brother complained that the Sunday Projo was

    all advertising. And nothing but junk on radio. And

    a junkie may soon claim the White House.

            They also want $2.00 for a fried egg sandwich

    at Haven Brothers - when you can still buy a dozen eggs

    for a dollar in some places.

            Ripp -offs everywhere ! All -American business !
