However, many did not enjoy seeing the actor at Dunkin’ Donuts and shared their opinion on social media. And theJustice Leaguestar called it a“colorful”criticism while talking to The Wall Street Journal. He said that some customers were not so pleased with his“inept service”and may have shared their thoughts.
“It’s Boston, after all, so we had some rather coarse and agitated people who were willing to voice their displeasure in a colorful way.
The Accountantstar seems unaffected by the backlash and even has ideas to use the reactions for the brand’s promotion. He said,“I’m still lobbying to include the most interesting of those in some of the edgiest social spots.”However, this would not be the only idea Ben Affleck suggested to promote the multinational coffee chain.
