We Met at a Dunn Bros - But Not the Same Dunn Bros

“We met at Starbucks. Not at the same Starbucks but we saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other.” - Meg Swan, Best in Show

Meeting for coffee at a Dunn Bros. on University this afternoon and just got the call that there’s more than one. We each chose a different one.

Not the first time this has happened this summer (there are also 2 on Washington). They should start putting store numbers on the doors or we should meet at more unique locations - like; Kopplin’s, J & S Bean Factory, 1-on-1, CRC.

Let’s both remember next time. Thanks. :)

I think that places should have quirky, memorable uniqueness that doesn’t affect the consistent product quality we are looking for. Different numbers merely amplifies our ubiquitous depersonalization of things in pursuit of efficient perfection. I don’t need to be reminded of this. This is probably one reason I prefer interesting server names to structured names by convention, even if the names are aliases.

The ones on Washington are complicated by the fact that they are both on 3rd ave. I looked for a Real Estate agent there for almost a half hour one time until I realized he was at *N* 3rd.
