Now I ask you - why does the town of Putnam need one big corporate
supported coffee, muffin/pastry/donut shop per 766 people?

Seriously.

Over staffed police department?

My god you yankees eat a lot of donuts. Here in Tallahassee (roughly
200,000 people), we have only a single Krispy Kreme and the two Dunkin
Donuts places closed. I preferred Dunkin and will not eat Krispy kreme.

I prefer Dunkin doughnut but I quit going there because their doughnuts
tasted like an ashtray. They have a coffe shop (people smoke) where they
store their doughnuts (uncovered). They have since gone out of business,
too late for the state law banning smoking in places that serve food to have
an effect on my eating habits.


Fortunately in Maryland most restaurants have banned smoking. One diner
we visit up in Annapolis has a smoking section, but it literally is
behind glass doors that seal tightly.

We have a nice Italian restaurant in our area that used to allow smokers
in one section, but the owner listened to complaints, shut down the
smoking section and then re-decorated it to get rid of the stench.

There's nothing worse than trying to enjoy a meal and encountering the
stench created by smokers and their filthy habit.

Talk about tyranny of the minority.

~~ sheesh ~~

Oddly, I feel the same way about loud, obnoxious drunks in
restaurants. I think we ought to ban the sales of alcohol in all
restaurants.

Think of the lives that would save. It would help rid the world of
drinkers and their brain addling, liver killing, drunken driving
addiction.

Yet you condone that nasty, vile smoke that causes cancer, tumors,
nasty breath, gum disease, etc? Smoking HAS to be the nastiest habit
there is. I agree with you about drunk people, to an extent. But, not
all people who drink, or even all who are drunk, are obnoxious. All
smokers, however, stink up the whole place with their filthy habit.
