DD Again.

WHen will I learn?....At the drive up:
I'd like two chocolate donuts with chocolate iceing and a small black coffee.
"Would you like a medium coffee?"
No, Small black coffee
"Ok, Small black coffee, what was the other thing?"
Two chocolate donuts with chocolate iceing
"OK $$"
I drive to the window knowing damn good and well that the order is screwed up. She hands the bag to me. It takes 1 millisecond tops to open the bag, look in, confirm my suspicions and hand the bag back.
This isn't my order. I ordered two chocolate donuts with chocolate iceing.
"We don't have those" What she really meant to say was,Take it a-hole, I don't care what you want, but I'm wise to her now.
Yes you do, I can see them in the case right behind you.
What? Oh those, those are double chocolate."
Well put two in the bag so I can be late for work now along with every behind me. Sheesh! All I wanted was a coupla freakin' donuts .

what i wanna do

is to take my walkie talkies with me...
and hold one of -em up to the speaker
then turn around and talk gibberish into the other

until they say: sir we cant understand you
please drive up to the window....

then you can look them square in the eye

and yeah you have to say double chocolate donuts

and most often they are out of them....
dunkin doughnuts could sell a couple of million
(just in massachusetts alone........)

more double chocolate doughnuts per day
but no one is taking note of what people are
ordering... only....what they end up buying...

and jake just order one.....

This is why I always go in, I take my coffee dark with milk and no sugar, they never get it right at the drive thru and 1/2 the time when you are standing there do they get it right. no one seems to understand no sugar for some stupid reason. The way people drink coffee is a shock to me they walk around with a cup 3/4 full of cream and the other 1/4 is full of sugar, where the hell is the coffee?

It amazes me how often "black, no sugar" turns into light and sweet at DD--counter or drive-up. Nowadays, I only take DDs if someone else buys
