Wow. I grabbed a coffe from a Double D here in Chicago (in California, a) they don't have many locations, if any, and b) no one adds the milk and sugar for you, so this was a nice change of pace) - and I noticed a sign on the door as I left…..
Dunkin Donuts now only serves fair trade coffee. Apparently, for those of us who care, but don't get out east much - they've been serving fair trade espresso since 2003. But this seemed to indicate that all their coffee is now fair trade.
I work at Dunkin Donuts and it made me real happy when I learned this… and being so god damned political I would have left if they weren’t. Which sparks a question, I haven’t noticed those fair trade signs anymore and was wandering if you knew if they were definetly still fair trade.
I have no idea.
I don’t follow the fair trade market itself, I just notice it in the moment. It’s worth asking your employer and see what their answer is, right? But if you’re into coffee, and have even an inkling of social justice - perhaps you’ll make a leap from Dunkin’ to another type of work? 
Here’s the twist. Espresso based drinks are not a very big seller at DD. Who the hell order cappuccinos from these guys anyway? Nobody!! This effort is a “cute” and “marketablely noble” but if DD were serious about making a difference, and helping poor coffee bean farmers, then they should only brew Fair Trade regular coffee ALL THE TIME TOO!!! Dont be fooled! DD profits come from brewing “regular coffee” and therefore it comes from the sweat and tears of the unrepresented and exploited international, underclass “slaves.” Sorry folks, DD can kiss off!!
