Joining In/Staying Out

One group I religiously belong to is Dunkin' Donuts. "America runs on Dunkin'.'' I am dedicated to them and would never "cheat" on them with Starbucks. I am that die hard New Englander who supports loves when the pumpkin muffins come out in the Fall and loves to see the stores on every corner. They are know for their fabulous coffee and those orange and pink signs. They stand out from all the others because they are affordable, your store next door, and their New England flair. Everything is fresh and they are supporters of my favorite teams. I am part of the wicked good community and will always support them. Walker talks about community vs. individuality and you don't have to participate in the community in order to be part of it. I love Dunkin', but I hate coffee. I am still an individual within the community. I am a tea and donut lover.


One brand I will not associate with is Abercrombie. I think they are inappropriate and if I was a Mother I would not want my children wearing their clothes. I don't like the sex image they portray and I don't think it's tasteful. Their clothes are made so small that not your average person could fit in them. When you go into Abercrombie's store they ask only "pretty" people to work for them and it is sad. Abercrombie is sending the wrong image to kids and teenagers. I would never associate myself with a tasteless brand.
