No, It's Not From The Onion ...

It's from the Boston Globe (although I got it via a chain of hat tips terminating here):

On block after block of the Boston’s Financial District and Downtown Crossing, Starbucks shops went dark as the city locked down, spurred by a manhunt for the second marathon bombing suspect. Dunkin’ Donuts stayed open.

Law enforcement asked the chain to keep some restaurants open in locked-down communities to provide hot coffee and food to police and other emergency workers, including in Watertown, the focus of the search for the bombing suspect.

Stereotype made manifest. When the revolution comes, that might turn out to be handy knowledge.
