That's a good point. McDonald's cannotexpect the public to pay as much for their latte's as they do for a Starbuck;s latte. McDonald's is still a fast food joint. Starbucks has always been a few grades above that in their presentation.
I don't yet know how to quote more than one person's statement in one response, but Alex mentioned that he won't like the smell. McDonald's has always had coffee, so if you can stand it now, I doubt the smell with change very much if they have more coffee. It that's any consolation.
I was aware that McD's was in a bit of a slump, and I'd noticed that they were finally doing the logical thing- just being a burger joint. I think a good part of their problem what that they were overextending. McD's makes Big Macs. Stick with that, you know?
That said, I'm actually doing research to see which road food joints have the healthiest food (for my cross country drive), and I doubt Mcdonald's will be high on the list, so there's that, too.
