Agreed. I've had a few uniform shirt casualties that required mass quantities of bleach resulting from LGA $1 World Bean cup/lid leakage and lids that don't stay on.

Agree with gloopy, Dunkin was the standard for coffee that stayed warm and in the cup. That's good enough for me.

McDonald's coffee is underrated. Served very hot though, sometimes I can't even sip it until top of climb because it's so hot!!

you just have to wait in a line 50-75 people deep.
the lines at McDonalds are so long in the airport, you’d think they were giving food away…..and I still wouldn’t stand in that line. 🤮

A lot of places allow you to order on the app and skip the line. JFK and ATL specifically.

Agree with this. But like others have said, the lines can be awful, plus if you like cream its like pulling teeth to get any, let alone a nice amount.

Gawd, I miss the days of just walking up to a counter, throwing down a fiver, getting a cup of coffee and having change to tip the van driver.

Now you have to download an app, put in a password, upload a credit card, and order your coffee 1000 miles away from the city and make a best guess on when you’ll be there so it’s not cold when you arrive.

Old man grumbling…I know. Now get off my lawn.

I'm a young(ish) man and I'm with ya! I'm so tired of downloading an app for every God dang thing. I refuse to do it no matter how many points, perks or rewards I'm leaving on the table. It just ain't worth a free small fries to me.
