Thumbs down Dunkin Donuts

This morning I make my stop for coffee before work. I order a medium iced coffee and a plain donut. The girl says $3.05. I am looking at the register and it says $3.29. I hand her a twenty and watch how she hands me back the change. Bills in one hand and change in the other hand. She hands me the bills and apparently expects me to just give her the rest of the change. I take the bills and the change and she gives me this annoyed look and turns right around to help the next customer. I look at the bills and she gave me a 1 and a 5 and 95 cents in coins. I tell her that I gave her a 20. She then looks at the other woman working with her and adamantly states he gave me a 10. I then told her I gave her a 20 because all I had was 20s. Well she wouldn't hear it so I get pissed. Of course there were no managers as this dunks is in a mobil station. I leave fuming heading for work. The thing that really bothers me is that it is the principal of the whole thing. I told her I would be back tomorrow to get my 10 bux after she counts her drawer and finds out she is over. ( I will probably be told that she counted out correctly and it was my error) So instead of going back to that store I am going to the other store where the manager works during the early morning hours and tell her what transpired. The 10 bux isn't going to break me but that little snotty nosed chit really got me pissed. And while I am ranting why is it that they expect a tip? It isn't like I was sitting down and was served. They chose the job as coffee pourer it wasn't forced on them.

Mac, they don't deserve a tip. It's not like they're getting below minimum wage like a waitress or something. But everybody feels like they should be tipped these days. Every sub shop in my area has a tip jar on the counter.

Mac, I had a friend that has been thru this before and he asked the manager to view the tape of the camera of the day and time. I would suggest doing this ASAP.

I thought about that too. I really don't give a rats patootie about the 10 bux. It is just that girl was so self righteous, she needs to be brought back to reality. If she wants to make tips go down the street and get a job at the restaurant or across the street from it at Alex's.

She deliberately short-changed you. I could tell by the part where she looked to her co-worker. Ask for the instant replay, she'll get hers. I loathe people who expect tips for 3rd rate service. Next time when you pay, state loudly" HERE'S A TWENTY"
