Just because some people like bad coffee. Like the British and the homeless, ergo its a personal opinion.
I will agree that you are right that you can get 'better' coffee, in my opinion and obviously yours, at the same price point, if not lower.
I dont believe that millions of people are just gargling their swill and saluting the flag afterwards every day just to feel patriotic.
Some people obviously like it.

I don't think people go solely due to the patriotism angle, but it definitely has been a big part of the marketing strategy during a massive growth period. The biggest reason people go into places like Tim's is familiarity, if you grew up drinking tim's coffee that's what coffee tastes like, and dammit you're going to learn to like it!
